Abstract:
DC-SIGN and Langerin are two C-type lectins involved in the initial steps of HIV infections: the former acts as a viral attachment factor and facilitates viral invasion of the immune system, the latter has a protective effect. Potential antiviral compounds targeted against DC-SIGN were synthesized using a common fucosylamide anchor. Their DC-SIGN affinity was tested by SPR and found to be similar to that of the natural ligand Lewis-X (Le X). The compounds were also found to be selective for DC-SIGN and to interact only weakly with Langerin. These molecules are potentially useful therapeutic tools against sexually transmitted HIV infection.
