Synthesis of 2-C-branched derivatives of D-mannose: 2-C-aminomethyl-D-mannose binds to the human C-type lectin DC-SIGN with affinity greater than an order of magnitude compared to that of D-mannose

2-C-Substituted branched d-mannose analogues are novel monosaccharides, readily obtained from a Kiliani-acetonation sequence on d-fructose, followed by subsequent functional group manipulation. 2-C-Azidomethyl-d-mannose and 2-C-aminomethyl-d-mannose bind to the C-type lectin DC-SIGN (CD209) with sig...
