Abstract: In order to develop novel influenza sialidase inhibitors, we constructed a library of glycoclusters composed of twelve types of sialylated dendrimers with thioglycosidic linkage that are resistant to hydrolysis by the sialidases. These sialodendrimers were synthesized by condensation reaction between a thiosialoside modified on the aglycon terminal end by a thioacetyl group and twelve types of carbosilane dendrimers having brominated terminal ends under deacetylation conditions, and temporal re-protection was performed for purification. Removal of all protection of the glycodendrimers was accomplished by transesterification and subsequent saponification to provide corresponding water-soluble glycodendrimers in good yields. For investigation of the structure-activity relationship, dendrimer scaffolds having differences in number of the sugar moieties, such as 3-, 4-, 6- and 12-functionalized dendrimers, and in linkage patterns, such as normal aliphatic linkage, ether- and amide-linkages. Biological evaluations of these glycodendrimers showed that all of the ether- and amide-elongated compounds had inhibitory potencies for the influenza sialidases in the mM range, while compounds having normal aliphatic linkage did not have any activities except for a 12-functionalized compound.
