Synthesis of a series of new glycoclusters and the evaluation of their anti-adhesion activities.

According to our early researches, some glycoclusters having glucose, mannose, cellose and lactose residues showed good anti-adhesion activity of leukocytes to endothelial cells and exerted anti-inflammatory effects. Based on these results and combination principles of drugs, a series of new glycoclusters modifying with potentially anti-oxidant activity pharmacophores have been synthesized, and their anti-adhesion activities were assessed by static state cell-based adhesion assay. The results showed that some modified glycoclusters displayed better activities than their leading compound.
