Synthesis of cancer peptide antigen-lipid A analog conjugates for synthetic vaccines

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 1999 Apr;47(4):563-8. doi: 10.1248/cpb.47.563.

Abstract

Conjugates 6 and 7 of cancer peptide antigen with N-tetradecanoyl L-serine-beta-alanine-containing D-glucosamine derivative structurally related to lipid A as an immunoadjuvant were synthesized for the development of totally synthetic vaccines against cancers. The mitogenic activities of compounds 6 and 7 were stronger than that of lipid A analog 3.
