Diazo Transfer and Click Chemistry in the Solid Phase Syntheses of Lysine-Based Glycodendrimers as Antagonists against <i>Escherichia coli</i> FimH
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli infections, ultimately leading to cystitis and pyelonephritis, are initially mediated by the adhesion of the bacterial FimH to the transmembrane glycoprotein uroplakin-1a present at the surface of urothelial cells. The adhesion is based on the recognition and high avidity binding between the high-mannose glycans of the uroplakin and the FimH, a mannose-specific lectin located at the tip of type 1 fimbriae. We found that synthetic multiantennary mannopyranosides glycodendrons, harboring triazole functionality at the anomeric position, were potent hemagglutination inhibitors of guinea pig erythrocytes and E. coli. A mannosylated dendrimer exposing up to sixteen sugar residues showed an HAI titer of 1 μM and was thus 500-fold more potent than the corresponding monovalent methyl α-d-mannopyranoside. The synthesis of the glycodendrons involved highly efficient solid-phase synthesis of branched l-lysine scaffolds, diazo transfer reaction on the terminal amine residues, and 1,3-dipolar copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition using propargyl α-d-mannopyranoside.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
