Syntheses of two trimannose analogs each containing C-mannosyl or 5-thio-C-mannosyl residue: their affinities to concanavalin A.

C-Mannosyl residue-containing trimannose ManC alpha(1,6)[Man alpha(1,3)Man] (2) and 5-thio-C mannosyl residue-containing trimannose 5SManC alpha(1,6)[Man alpha(1,3)Man] (3) were synthesized via a glycosyl radical addition to enone derivative of mannose (6). Dissociation constants for the binding of these trisaccharides to concanavalin A (ConA) were determined by a fluorescence anisotropy inhibition assay: Kd = 198 and 31 microM, respectively. The unexpectedly large Kd value for the compound 2 compared with the compound 3 and the natural trimannose 1 demonstrates a characteristic of C-glycoside.

Synthesis of 5-thiomannose-containing oligomannoside mimics: binding abilities to concanavalin A.

5-Thiomannose-containing oligomannoside mimics, 5SMan alpha(1,6)Man, 5SMan alpha(1,3)Man, 5SMan alpha(1,6)¿Man alpha(1,3)Man¿, Man alpha(1,6)¿5SMan alpha(1,3)Man¿, and 5SMan alpha(1,6)¿5SMan alpha(1,3)Man¿, were synthesized. Dissociation constants for the binding of these mimics to concanavalin A (ConA) were determined by a fluorescence anisotropy inhibition assay. Comparison of these data with those of the natural oligomannosides and with a crystal structure of the trimannoside-ConA complex established that replacing a ring oxygen atom with a sulfur atom causes about 1 kcal/mol decrease in the binding free energy when the ring oxygen is recognized with a hydrogen bonding.

Concanavalin A-immobilized polystyrene nanospheres capture HIV-1 virions and gp120: potential approach towards prevention of viral transmission.

To establish an effective tool for the prevention of HIV-1 transmission, lectin-immobilized polystyrene nanospheres were synthesized and examined for their HIV-1 capture activity. When concanavalin A (Con A) was immobilized on the surface of polystyrene nanospheres (400 nm in diameter) with poly(methacrylic acid) branches and incubated with HIV-1 suspension at room temperature for 60 min, the nanospheres (Con A-NSs) achieved a >3.3 log and a 2.2 log reduction of viral infectivity in HIV-1 (IIIB strain) suspension at a concentration of 2 and 0.5 mg/ml, respectively. Meanwhile, Con A-free nanospheres, which were not immobilized with Con A, achieved only a 0.29 log reduction at 0.5 mg/ ml. Con A-NSs (2 mg/ml) could also reduce the gp120 level of III(B) and HE strains to <7.1% and 5.5% of each control, respectively. The combination of Con A-NS treatment followed by filtration with a microporous membrane efficiently removed virion-free gp120 as well as infectious viral particles from HIV-1 suspension. Electron microscopic examination demonstrated that HIV-1 virions were trapped on the surface of Con A-NSs. Thus, Con A-NSs can capture HIV-1 virions and gp120 with high affinity, and may have potential as an effective tool for the prevention of HIV-1 transmission.
