title: A general glycomimetic strategy yields non-carbohydrate inhibitors of DC-SIGN.
abstract: Shikimic acid can be transformed into monovalent and multivalent glycomimetics that target different members of the C-type lectin class, including DC-SIGN, a dendritic cell lectin that facilitates HIV transmission.
