SELECTIN BINDING GLYCOPEPTIDES

摘要

Glyco-amino acids or glycopeptides that have three-dimensionally stable configuration for the presentation of functional groups, fucose, or an analogue or derivative thereof, covalently linked to an amino acid or peptide with a free carboxylic acid group, that facilitate binding between those groups and receptors on selectins, represented by general structural formula (I) as shown in claim 1. The glycopeptides of structural formula (I) can be administered to a subject to treat inflammation.
