Fluorination of carbohydrate ligands of lectins is a useful approach to examine their binding profile, improve their metabolic stability and lipophilicity, and convert them into 19F NMR-active probes. However, monofluorination of monovalent carbohydrate ligands often leads to a decreased or completely lost affinity. By chemical glycosylation, we synthesized the full series of methyl β-glycosides of N,N′-diacetylchitobiose (GlcNAcβ (1–4)GlcNAcβ1-OMe) and LacdiNAc (GalNAcβ(1–4)GlcNAcβ1-OMe) systematically monofluorinated at all hydroxyl positions. A competitive enzyme-linked lectin assay revealed that the fluorination at the 6′-position of chitobioside resulted in an unprecedented increase in affinity to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) by one order of
magnitude. For the first time, we have characterized the binding profile of a previously underexplored WGA ligand LacdiNAc. Surprisingly, 4′-fluoro-LacdiNAc bound WGA even stronger than unmodified LacdiNAc. These observations were interpreted using molecular dynamic calculations along with STD and transferred NOESY NMR techniques, which gave evidence for the strengthening of CH/π interactions after deoxyfluorination of the
side chain of the non-reducing GlcNAc. These results highlight the potential of fluorinated glycomimetics as highaffinity ligands of lectins and 19F NMR-active probe.
