Resumo

THE Erythrina cristagalli LECTIN.The synthesis of two new D-galactose-based dimers having a 1,4-butanediamine spacer is reported aiming at the evaluation of their interaction with the Erythrina cristagalli lectin.The title compounds were prepared in four and five steps from 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-b-D-galactopyranoside bromide, in 20 % and 15 % overall yield, respectively, using the Doebner modification of the Koenavenagel reaction as the key sep.The lectin-carbohydrate interaction could be evaluated for only one dimer, due to solubility problems.A twofold enhancement of affinity was observed, compared to the corresponding monovalent ligand.
