The monosaccharide Tn and the disaccharide STn are tumor antigens with similar structures and common biosynthetic pathways. Both are always over-expressed simultaneously on tumor cell surfaces. We report herein the efficient synthesis of the STnThr antigen analogue 2, featuring the immunogenic TnThr mimetic 1 aglycon. Analogously to the native STn, 2 is recognized by the influenza N1 neuraminidase. A model of the N1·2 complex showed the sialyl moiety of 2 well nested in the active site pocket, with docking unaffected by the rigid aglycon. The analogue 2 is, therefore, in association with mimetic 1, a good determinant for the design of new multiantigen cancer vaccines.

Abstract
The monosaccharide Tn and the disaccharide STn are tumor antigens with similar structures and common biosynthetic pathways. Both are always over-expressed simultaneously on tumor cell surfaces. We report herein the efficient synthesis of the STnThr antigen analogue 2, featuring the immunogenic TnThr mimetic 1 aglycon. Analogously to the native STn, 2 is recognized by the influenza N1 neuraminidase. A model of the N1·2 complex showed the sialyl moiety of 2 well nested in the active site pocket, with docking unaffected by the rigid aglycon. The analogue 2 is, therefore, in association with mimetic 1, a good determinant for the design of new multiantigen cancer vaccines.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
