Sialyl alpha(2-->3) lactose clusters using carbosilane dendrimer core scaffolds as influenza hemagglutinin blockers.

摘要

An efficient synthesis of a series of carbosilane dendrimers uniformly functionalized with sialyl alpha(2-->3) lactose (Neu5Acalpha(2-->3)Galbeta(1-->4)Glcbeta1-->) moieties was accomplished. The results of a preliminary study on biological responses against influenza virus hemagglutinin, using the sialyl lactose clusters showed unique biological activities on the basis of the structure-activity relationship according to the carbosilane scaffolds.
