Herein, we reported the design and synthesis of a series of anthracene-based bisboronic acids （9a-9e） with different N-substituents near the boronic acid unit. Among them, compound 9a could recognize sialyl Lewis X（sLex） with selectivity over other Lewis sugars, and could significantly stain sLeX-expressing HEPG2 cells with selectivity over the range of 0.1-10 μmol/L. Compound 9a possibly has two properly positioned boronic acids caused by the steric hindrance by the near N-benzyl substituent group, which empower its sLe^x selectivity and higher binding affinity.展开更多
