Early in inflammation, adhesion occurs between leukocytes and endothelium when selectins bind to sialyl
Lewis X (sLex) and related oligosaccharides. We tested novel compounds that mimic sLex for their ability
to inhibit selectin-mediated adhesion of human eosinophils and neutrophils in vitro. Neutrophils and eosinophils were isolated by density gradient centrifugation, and eosinophils were further purified by immunomagnetic negative selection. Adhesion to unstimulated or interleukin-1 -stimulated (5 ng/ml, 4-6 h) umbilical vein endothelial monolayers was tested under static or rotating conditions, where adhesion is
primarily E- or L-selectin dependent, respectively. P-selectin-dependent adhesion was tested on immobilized platelets treated with or without phorbol myristate acetate (10 7 M, 10 min). Stimulus-induced adhesion was always at least 4-fold higher than without stimulus, and selectin dependence was confirmed with
specific blocking monoclonal antibodies. E-selectin-dependent adhesion of eosinophils and neutrophils
was inhibited by compound GM2296 (the concentration producing 50% inhibition of adhesion [IC50] 0.5-1 mM). E-selectin-dependent adhesion of neutrophils, but not eosinophils, was also inhibited by another compound, sLex with a lipid tail (30 ± 6% inhibition at 3 mM), whereas compound GM1292 slightly
inhibited adhesion of both (23 ± 5 and 20 ± 6% inhibition, respectively, at 1 mM). L-selectin-dependent
adhesion was more effectively inhibited by GM2296 (IC50 0.2-0.5 mM), although P-selectin-dependent adhesion was also inhibited (IC50 1 mM). Inhibition was reversible without affecting viability, and
no effect was seen with these compounds in assays testing neutrophil adhesion to immobilized intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Thus, compound GM2296, a carbon-fucosylated derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid, inhibits E-, L-, and P-selectin-dependent eosinophil and neutrophil adhesion. The ability of these and
perhaps other related glycomimetic compounds to interfere with the function of more than one type of selectin makes them desirable candidates as anti-inflammatory agents.
