• Description: 3'-Sulfated Lewis X sodium salt is a synthetic carbohydrate with a sulfate group on the 3' position of the sugar. It is a selective blocker of E-selectin, a type of selectin that plays an important role in inflammation and tissue injury. The binding site for 3'-sulfated Lewis X sodium salt is the cavity at the end of the selectin molecule, which has a hydrophobic region. This cavity can be blocked by hydrophobic moieties such as sulfates, fatty acids, or steroids. 3'-Sulfated Lewis X sodium salt has been shown to be effective in treating inflammatory conditions such as asthma and arthritis.
