説明

<p>Pradimicins (PRMs) are an exceptional family of natural products that specifically bind d-mannose (Man). In the past decade, their scientific significance has increased greatly, with the emergence of biological roles of Man-containing glycans. However, research into the use of PRMs has been severely limited by their inherent tendency to form water-insoluble aggregates. Recently, we have established a derivatization strategy to suppress PRM aggregation, providing an opportunity for practical application of PRMs in glycobiological research. This article first outlines the challenges in studying Man-binding mechanisms and structural modifications of PRMs, and then describes our approach to address them. We also present our recent attempts toward the development of PRM-based research tools.</p>
