Modified citrus pectins has been found to inhibit galactin 3, which plays a role in many stages of cancer progression and metastasis. However, our understanding of the in-view effects of these pectins are very limited at present. It is therefore interesting to prepare parts of pectin in a scale that makes it possible
to do biological tests. Here is a schematic representation of pectin, which consists of a backbone of rhamno-galactrin with side chains of 1.4-linked galactins and 1.5-linked arabinins, along with arabinins
branched in the 2 and 3 position. The synthetic strategy involves preparing a disaccharide donor from a monosaccharide acceptor and monosaccharide donor, which are both reachable from L-arabinose in 3-5 steps.
So far, this disaccharide donor has been prepared from the combined acceptor and donor. Afterwards, the armed-disarmed effects of L-arabinofranocytes will be examined to prepare different kinds of disaccharides, for instance this one.
