A first total synthesis of Para-Forssman glycolipid, GalNAcj31-+3GalNAc81+3Galal+ 4Gal~l+4Glc8l~ leer, is described to provide an unambiguous evidence for the proposed structure of the natural product. A novel globopentaosyl ceramide 1 was isolated from human red blood cells in 1982 and chemically c

A synthesis of the glycosphingolipid 1 constituting a macrophage receptor for MIF is described. It is based on trichloroacetirnidate glycosyl donors and on the azidosphingosine glycosylation method. Regioselective O-glycosylation of a partially O-protected acceptor and direct transformation of the s
Recently, various types of important biological functions of gangliosides in biological systems have been reported by many groups2-\*. Consequently, a facile, regio-and a-stereo-selective glycoside synthesis of sialic acid is critically important for the synthesis of a variety of gangliosides and th
The selectins are a family of adhesion molecules that mediate the binding of leucocytes to endothelial cells and platelets, as well as to lymphocyte-homing receptors. The ligands recognized by L-selectin have been identified as the tetrasaccharides SLe" and SLe" [ 11. Owing to the biological importa
In 1992 Feizi and co-workers reported that an equimolar mixture of sulfated Le x and Le a tetrasaccharides derived from an ovarian cystoadenoma glycoprotein were strongly bound to E-and L-selectins [1]. In a recent communication, they concluded that sulfated Le a tetrasaccharide [2] and pentasacchar
