Resumen

The Tn antigen (GalNAc-α-1-O-Thr) is a well-known tumor-associated carbohydrate determinant. The use of glycopeptides with this structure (e.g., mucin 1, MUC1) has become a promising field of research due to their potential use as cancer vaccines.[1] However, current vaccine candidates generally have weak in vivo immune responses due to their low stability and immunogenicity.[2]To address these drawbacks, we will modify several residues in the peptide sequence of MUC1 by unnatural amino acids, such as β-amino acids,[3] or surrogates of arginine residue.In this study, the synthetic routes and challenges encountered in obtaining the various homologues will be described. The affinity of a library of glycopeptides containing β-amino acids for the anti-MUC1 SM3 antibody will be presented and preliminary results will be discussed along with future prospects.
