Abstract

A polymerizable alcohol having 9 PEG repeats was prepared in order to mimic an oligosaccharide moiety. Sialyl α(2→3) lactose, which is known as a sugar moiety of GM3 ganglioside, was also prepared, and the polymerizable alcohol was condensed with the sialyl α(2→3) lactose derivative to afford the desired glycomonomer, which was further polymerized with or without acrylamide to give water-soluble glycopolymers. The glycopolymers had higher affinities than those of glycopolymers having sialyl lactose moieties with shorter aglycon moieties.
