Consequently, there has been a surge of interests in boronic acid compounds. This study reviews the recent development in this area during the last six years.}, number={3}, journal={MEDICINAL RESEARCH REVIEWS}, author={Yang, WQ and Gao, XM and Wang, BH}, year={2003}, month={May}, pages={346–368} }

This sensor shows a 43- and 49-fold selectivity for glucose over fructose and galactose, respectively. The binding affinity improvement is about 300-fold and the selectivity improvement for glucose over fructose is about 1400-fold compared with the monoboronic acid compound, phenylboronic acid. 1H NMR studies indicate that sensor 10a binds with alpha-D-glucofuranose in a bidentate manner (1:1 ratio).}, number={23}, journal={BIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS}, author={Karnati, VV and Gao, XM and Gao, SH and Yang, WQ and Ni, WJ and Sankar, S and Wang, BH}, year={2002}, month={Dec}, pages={3373–3377} }

Due to the high affinity binding between catechol and boronic acid, the polymer resin readily captures boronic acid compounds. The feasibility of using immobilized catechol to capture boronic acid products for purification and solid-phase transformation was demonstrated. Moreover, the immobilized catechol was also used for the preparation of resin-bound catecholborane, which can be used as a solid-phase amidation reagent.}, number={36}, journal={TETRAHEDRON LETTERS}, author={Yang, WQ and Gao, XM and Springsteen, G and Wang, BH}, year={2002}, month={Sep}, pages={6339–6342} }

The fluorescent binding studies of these sensors with sLex were carried out in a mixed aqueous solution. Compound 7e was found to show the strongest fluorescence enhancement upon binding with sLex. Using cell cultures, 7e was shown to label sLex-expressing HEPG2 cells at 1 μM, while non-sLex-expressing cells were not labeled.}, number={16}, journal={BIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS}, author={Yang, WQ and Gao, SH and Gao, XM and Karnati, VVR and Ni, WJ and Wang, BH and Hooks, WB and Carson, J and Weston, B}, year={2002}, month={Aug}, pages={2175–2177} }
