Abstract
Carbohydrates are essential mediators of many processes in health and disease. They regulate self-/non-self- discrimination, are key elements of cellular communication, cancer, infection and inflammation, and determine protein folding, function and life-times. Moreover, they are integral to the cellular envelope for microorganisms and participate in biofilm formation. These diverse functions of carbohydrates are mediated by carbohydrate-binding proteins, lectins, and the more the knowledge about the biology of these proteins is advancing, the more interfering with carbohydrate recognition becomes a viable option for the development of novel therapeutics. In this respect, small molecules mimicking this recognition process become more and more available either as tools for fostering our basic understanding of glycobiology or as therapeutics. In this review, we outline the general design principles of glycomimetic inhibitors (Section 2). This section is then followed by highlighting three approaches to interfere with lectin function, i.e. with carbohydrate-derived glycomimetics (Section 3.1), novel glycomimetic scaffolds (Section 3.2) and allosteric modulators (Section 3.3). We summarize recent advances in design and application of glycomimetics for various classes of lectins of mammalian, viral and bacterial origin. Besides highlighting design principles in general, we showcase defined cases in which glycomimetics have been advanced to clinical trials or marketed. Additionally, emerging applications of glycomimetics for targeted protein degradation and targeted delivery purposes are reviewed in Section 4.

Abstract
Synthetic deoxy-fluoro-carbohydrate derivatives and seleno-sugars are useful tools in protein-carbohydrate interaction studies using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy because of the presence of the 19F and 77Se reporter nuclei. Seven saccharides containing both these atoms have been synthesized, three monosaccharides, methyl 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-1-seleno-β-D-galactopyranoside (1) and methyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-1-seleno-α/β-D-galactopyranoside (2α and 2β), and four disaccharides, methyl 4-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-1-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), methyl 4-Se-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-4-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), and methyl 4-Se-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-α/β-D-galactopyranosyl)-4-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (5α and 5β), the three latter compounds with an interglycosidic selenium atom. Selenoglycosides 1 and 3 were obtained from the corresponding bromo sugar by treatment with dimethyl selenide and a reducing agent, while compounds 2α/2β, 4, and 5α/5β were synthesized by the coupling of a D-galactosyl selenolate, obtained in situ from the corresponding isoselenouronium salt, with either methyl iodide or a 4-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl D-galactosyl moiety. While benzyl ether protecting groups were found to be incompatible with the selenide linkage during deprotection, a change to acetyl esters afforded 4 in a 17% overall yield and over 9 steps from peracetylated D-galactosyl bromide. The synthesis of 5 was performed similarly, but the 2-fluoro substituent led to reduced stereoselectivity in the formation of the isoselenouronium salt (α/β ∼ 1 : 2.3). However, the β-anomer of the uronium salt could be obtained almost pure (∼98%) by precipitation from the reaction mixture. The following displacement reaction occurred without anomerisation, affording, after deacetylation, pure 5β.

Abstract
Herein, we invented the Cs2CO3-mediated atom economic method that streamlines the scission of the C(O)-S/Se bond involving the in situ generation of an anomeric thiolate/selenolate anion, which reacted with p-QMs to yield novel unsymmetrical gem-diarylmethylthio/seleno glycosides while retaining the anomeric stereochemistry. Notably, the key features of this protocol involve unprecedented long-range acyl transfer (from S/Se to O), thus affording acylation of the final product which is not yet reported by classical methods. This straightforward protocol offers a mild, short reaction time, synthetically simple approach, and compatibility with 8 types of sugar along with phenylthio/benzylseleno esters.

Abstract
Human galectin-3 (hGal-3) is involved in a variety of biological processes and is implicated in wide range of diseases. As a result, targeting hGal-3 for clinical applications has become an intense area of research. As a step towards the development of novel hGal-3 inhibitors, we describe a study of the binding of two Se-containing hGal-3 inhibitors, specifically that of di(β-D-galactopyranosyl)selenide (SeDG), in which two galactose rings are linked by one Se atom and a di(β-D-galactopyranosyl)diselenide (DSeDG) analogue with a diseleno bond between the two sugar units. The binding affinities of these derivatives to hGal-3 were determined by 15N-1H HSQC NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence anisotropy titrations in solution, indicating a slight decrease in the strength of interaction for SeDG compared to thiodigalactoside (TDG), a well-known inhibitor of hGal-3, while DSeDG displayed a much weaker interaction strength. NMR and FA measurements showed that both seleno derivatives bind to the canonical S face site of hGal-3 and stack against the conserved W181 residue also confirmed by X-ray crystallography, revealing canonical properties of the interaction. The interaction with DSeDG revealed two distinct binding modes in the crystal structure which are in fast exchange on the NMR time scale in solution, explaining a weaker interaction with hGal-3 than SeDG. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have found that energetic contributions to the binding enthalpies mainly differ in the electrostatic interactions and in polar solvation terms and are responsible for weaker binding of DSeDG compared to SeDG. Selenium-containing carbohydrate inhibitors of hGal-3 showing canonical binding modes offer the potential of becoming novel hydrolytically stable scaffolds for a new class of hGal-3 inhibitors.

Abstract
Carbohydrates, either free or as glycans conjugated with other biomolecules, participate in many essential biological processes. Their apparent simplicity in terms of chemical functionality hides an extraordinary diversity and structural complexity. Deeply deciphering at the atomic level their structures is essential to understand their biological function and activities, but it is still a challenging task in need of complementary approaches and no generalized procedures are available to address the study of such complex, natural glycans. The versatility of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) often makes it the preferred choice to study glycans and carbohydrates in solution media. The most basic NMR parameters, namely chemical shifts, coupling constants and nuclear Overhauser effects, allow defining short or repetitive chain sequences and characterize their structures and local geometries either in the free state or when interacting with other biomolecules, rendering additional information on the molecular recognition processes. The increased accessibility to carbohydrate molecules extensively or selectively labeled with 13C boosts the resolution and detail that analyzed glycan structures can reach. In turn, structural information derived from NMR, complemented with molecular modeling and theoretical calculations can also provide dynamic information on the conformational flexibility of carbohydrate structures. Furthermore, using partially oriented media or paramagnetic perturbations, it has been possible to introduce additional long-range observables rendering structural information on longer and branched glycan chains. In this review, we provide examples of these studies and an overview of the recent and most relevant NMR applications in the glycobiology field.

Abstract
Synthesis of tetravalent thio- and selenogalactopyranoside-containing glycoclusters using azide-alkyne click strategy is presented. Prepared compounds are potential ligands of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin PA-IL. P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen associated with cystic fibrosis, and PA-IL is one of its virulence factors. The interactions of PA-IL and tetravalent glycoconjugates were investigated using hemagglutination inhibition assay and compared with mono- and divalent galactosides (propargyl 1-thio- and 1-seleno-β-d-galactopyranoside, digalactosyl diselenide and digalactosyl disulfide). The lectin-carbohydrate interactions were also studied by saturation transfer difference NMR technique. Both thio- and seleno-tetravalent glycoconjugates were able to inhibit PA-IL significantly better than simple d-galactose or their intermediate compounds from the synthesis.

Abstract
In the last decades, organoselenium compounds gained interest due to their important biological features. However, the lack of solubility, which characterizes most of them, makes their actual clinical exploitability a hard to reach goal. Selenosugars, with their intrinsic polarity, do not suffer from this issue and as a result, they can be conceived as a useful alternative. The aim of this review is to provide basic knowledge of the synthetic aspects of selenosugars, selenonium salts, selenoglycosides, and selenonucleotides. Their biological properties will be briefly detailed. Of course, it will not be a comprehensive dissertation but an analysis of what the authors think is the cream of the crop of this interesting research topic.

Abstract
To expand the potential of Se-carbohydrates for multifunctional mimicry of sugars, herein we addressed the synthesis of the highly challenging and biologically significant Se-glycosides of sialic acid (Se-sialosides). An α-sialyl selenolate anion generated in situ smoothly reacted with electrophiles to give α-Se-sialosides as single stereoisomers. A Se-sialoside was sequentially incorporated with selenium, producing a triseleno-sialoside. This molecule was used as a 77Se NMR-active handle for studying glycan-protein interaction, revealing different binding profiles of sialic acid binding proteins.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY : MRC 2018; 56:836-846.

Abstract
Seleno-carbohydrates are those in which the oxygen of the glycosidic bond or the hydroxyl group is artificially replaced with selenium. This substitution changes 1 H and 13 C chemical shifts and produces spin coupling constants involving 77 Se. Coupling constants, such as 2-3 J(77 Se, 1 H), are likely to be useful for conformational analyses of glycans because such couplings are never observed in natural glycans. Several papers have discussed the relationship between 2-3 J(77 Se, 1 H) and conformation; however, only few reports describe 1-3 J(77 Se, 13 C), which could also be useful. Here, we obtain 77 Se coupling constants of seleno-carbohydrates from 77 Se-selective HR-HMBC and 77 Se satellites in 1D 13 C spectra and examine their conformations using the Newman projection scheme.

Abstract
Molecular modelling provides a major impact in the field of glycosciences, helping in the characterisation of the molecular basis of the recognition between lectins from pathogens and human glycoconjugates, and in the design of glycocompounds with anti-infectious properties. The conformational properties of oligosaccharides are complex, and therefore, the simulation of these properties is a challenging task. Indeed, the development of suitable force fields is required for the proper simulation of important problems in glycobiology, such as the interatomic interactions responsible for oligosaccharide and glycoprotein dynamics, including O-linkages in oligo- and polysaccharides, and N- and O-linkages in glycoproteins. The computational description of representative examples is discussed, herein, related to biologically active oligosaccharides and their interaction with lectins and other proteins, and the new routes open for the design of glycocompounds with promising biological activities.

Abstract
Selenoglycosides are used as reactive glycosyl donors in the syntheses of oligosaccharides. In addition, such heavy atom analogs of natural glycosides are useful tools for structure determination of their lectin receptors using X-ray crystallography. Some lectins, e.g., members of the tectonin family, only bind to carbohydrate epitopes with O-alkylated ring hydroxy groups. In this context, we report the first synthesis of an O-methylated selenoglycoside, specifically methyl 2-O-methyl-L-selenofucopyranoside, a ligand of the lectin tectonin-2 from the mushroom Laccaria bicolor. The synthetic route required a strategic revision and further optimization due to the intrinsic lability of alkyl selenoglycosides, in particular for the labile fucose. Here, we describe a successful synthetic access to methyl 2-O-methyl-L-selenofucopyranoside in 9 linear steps and 26% overall yield starting from allyl L-fucopyranoside.

Abstract
The importance of oligosaccharides in myriad biological processes is becoming increasingly clear. However, these carbohydrate-mediated processes are often challenging to dissect due to the often poor affinity, stability and selectivity of the oligosaccharides involved. To circumvent these issues, non-natural carbohydrates-carbohydrate mimics-are being designed as innovative tools to modify biomolecules of interest or to understand biological pathways using fluorescence microscopy, X-ray or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). This review focuses on key examples of recently developed non-natural sugars to answer specific biological needs.

Abstract
The crystal structure of AOL (a fucose-specific lectin of Aspergillus oryzae) has been solved by SAD (single-wavelength anomalous diffraction) and MAD (multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction) phasing of seleno-fucosides. The overall structure is a six-bladed β-propeller similar to that of other fucose-specific lectins. The fucose moieties of the seleno-fucosides are located in six fucose-binding sites. Although the Arg and Glu/Gln residues bound to the fucose moiety are common to all fucose-binding sites, the amino-acid residues involved in fucose binding at each site are not identical. The varying peak heights of the seleniums in the electron density map suggest that each fucose-binding site has a different carbohydrate binding affinity.

Abstract
A novel series of CD1d ligand α-galactosylceramides (α-GalCers) were synthesized by incorporation of the heavy atoms Br and Se in the acyl chain backbone of α-galactosyl-N-cerotoylphytosphingosine. The synthetic analogues are potent CD1d ligands and stimulate mouse invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells to selectively enhance Th1 cytokine production. These synthetic analogues would be efficient X-ray crystallographic probes to disclose precise atomic positions of alkyl carbons and lipid-protein interactions in KRN7000/CD1d complexes.

Abstract
Substitution of the oxygen atom in the glycosidic linkage by a disulfide bond or by selenium makes the resulting glycoside resistant to hydrolysis. To clarify the consequences for affinity to lectins we prepared benzene-based mono- to trivalent dithiogalactosides. Inhibitory capacity increased with valency for a plant toxin, the synthetic compounds potently blocking its binding to a lactose-presenting matrix and to cells. Human galectins were much less sensitive to the disulfides than the toxin. This differential response constitutes a beneficial effect to avoid cross-reactivity in vivo. Symmetrical selenodigalactoside and diselenodigalactoside were prepared and similarly tested. Both compounds proved rather equally bioactive for the toxin, graded activity was measured for human galectins. This result directs attention to further studies to relate Se-dependent alterations in bond angle and length as well as van der Waals radius to binding properties of selenoglycosides to biomedically relevant lectins.

Abstract
Phase determination is essential for solving X-ray crystal structures of proteins and their complexes. Conventional phase-determination methods using heavy atoms (Pt, Au, Hg, etc.) or the selenium (Se) atom are routinely utilized in structure determination of protein crystals. Here, we describe an alternative phase-determination method for proteins such as lectins in which a Se-containing glycan is used as a ligand. In this technique, the Se atoms are simply introduced into the protein crystal as a complex, and the phase of the protein can be determined using anomalous signals from the Se-containing sugar.
