Page/Page column 105; 106; 121; 122-123, (2021/11/13)
The invention provides immunoconjugates of Formula I comprising a cell-binding agent linked by conjugation to one or more immunostimulatory moieties where the linker is a substrate for elastase. The invention also provides immunostimulant intermediate compositions comprising a reactive functional group. Such intermediate compositions are suitable substrates for formation of the immunoconjugates through a linker or linking moiety. The invention further provides methods of treating cancer with the immunoconjugates.

Mefp1 is a protein produced by the marine mussel, Mytilus edulis, which helps the organism to adhere to surfaces in turbulent waters. To better understand the nature of the adhesion process, we sought to synthesize homogeneous oligopeptides based on the repeating decapeptide unit of the protein. The fully protected decapeptide 10 has been synthesized from appropriately protected amino acid building blocks using a fragment condensation strategy. A key feature of the strategy is the late incorporation of the synthetically valuable dihydroxyproline residue. This synthesis of the orthogonally protected repeating decapeptide unit of Mefp1 represents an important first step toward producing useful quantities of homogeneous oligopeptides related to the protein.
