Ruthenium complexes carrying a disialo complex-type oligosaccharide: enzymatic synthesis and its application to a luminescent probe to detect influenza viruses

Chem Commun (Camb). 2003 Jun 7:(11):1250-1. doi: 10.1039/b210739b.

Abstract

Tris-bipyridine ruthenium-complexes carrying a disialo complex-type oligosaccharide were prepared via a one-pot transglycosylation using endo-glycosidase (Endo M); they bind to type-A influenza viruses with excellent affinity (IC50 = 8.4 microM), and their luminescence intensity is strongly depressed by virus-binding.
