A new chemical probe for the detection of the cancer-linked galectin-3.

A chemical probe was developed for the detection of the emerging cancer marker galectin-3. The probe contains a benzophenone moiety which covalently attaches itself to the protein upon binding and irradiation. Introduction of a fluorescent label via'click' chemistry allows the labelled proteins to be visualized in a gel. With the probe, selective visualization of galectin-3 in protein mixtures was shown and remarkably even in cell lysates.

Synthesis and evaluation of mimetics of UDP and UDP-alpha-D-galactose, dTDP and dTDP-alpha-D-glucose with monosaccharides replacing the key pyrophosphate unit.

A series of 5'-O-glycosyl-uridine and thymidine derivatives have been prepared as potential mimics of sugar nucleotides and nucleotide-diphosphates. These compounds proved not to be inhibitors of bovine beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase although some showed moderate inhibition of Salmonella dTDP-alpha-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase (RmlB).
