QS-7-Api is an exceedingly potent immuno-adjuvant isolated from the bark of Quillaja saponaria. It is significantly less toxic than QS-21, a related saponin that is currently the favored adjuvant in anticancer and antiviral vaccine clinical trials. Tedious isolation/purification protocols and uncertainty in its structural constitution have hindered the clinical development of QS-7. A chemical synthesis of QS-7-Api is described, providing structural verification of the adjuvant. A novel semisynthetic sequence to QS-7-Api has also been established, greatly facilitating access to QS-7 for preclinical and clinical evaluation.Copyright
