Syntheses of model compounds related to an antigenic epitope in pectic polysaccharides from Bupleurum falcatum L. (II)

Abstract

Stereocontrolled syntheses of model compounds related to a major antigenic epitope against antibupleurum 2IIc/PG-1-IgG from antiulcer pectic polysaccharide are described. A trisaccharide derivative (13) was prepared as a precursor and a novel and simple approach for the rational design of a glycocluster and glycodendrimer was developed, through the syntheses of the fluorescence-labeled glycocluster (2) and glycodendrimer (3). © 2006 Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
