Parallel Synthesis and Screening of a Solid Phase Carbohydrate Library

A solid phase carbohydrate library was synthesized and screened against Bauhinia purpurea lectin. The library, which contains

approximately 1300 di- and trisaccharides, was synthesized with

chemical encoding on TentaGel resin so that each bead contained a single carbohydrate. Two ligands that bind more tightly to the lectin than Gal--1,3-GalNAc (the known ligand) have been identified. The strategy outlined can be used to identify carbohydrate-based ligands for any receptor; however, because the derivatized beads mimic the polyvalent presentation of cell surface carbohydrates, the screen may prove especially valuable for discovering new compounds that bind to proteins participating in cell adhesion.

An Example of Combinatorial Approach in the Discovery of a Potent Ligand

12

Synthesis of the Library

13

High Throughput Screening of the Library

Derivatized TentaGel beads were washed three times with 1 ml of PBST buffer and then suspended in 1 ml of PBST containing 3% bovine serum albumin. The beads were incubated at room temperature for 3 hours on a rotary shaker in 1 ml of a biotin-labeled lectin solution and then washed three times with 1 ml of TBST buffer containing 1% BSA. The beads were incubated on a rotary shaker for 20 min at room temperature in 1 ml of alkaline phosphatase-coupled streptavidin. The beads were washed three times with 1 ml of alkaline phosphatase buffer and kept in the alkaline phosphatase buffer prior to staining. A portion of the beads was transferred to a petri dish and the alkaline phosphatase buffer was replaced with 200 µl of a solution containing 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (BCIP) and nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT). Color development was observed under a low-power microscope. The staining was terminated by washing the beads twice with 200 µl of sodium EDTA solution. The colored beads were picked out manually under the microscope for decoding.

14

High Throughput Screening of the Library

A portion of the beads in the library after 5 min of staining. The dark bead in the center was identified as a hit. This level of contrast shown in the photograph was representative [60X].

15

Major Disadvantages of Combinatorial Synthesis

• Limited structural diversity of synthetic library

• Wastage of much of raw material

• Wastage of assay material

• No de novo drug designed as yet based solely on combinatorial synthesis

• How about combinatorial virtual library screening?
