(Chemical Equation Presented) An improved synthesis of the hexasaccharide MBr1 antigen (globo-H) is reported. Enhanced efficiency in the synthesis was necessary for the scale-up production of globo-H, in order to advance globo-H-based anticancer vaccines
A second generation synthesis of the MBr1 (Globo-H) breast tumor antigen: New application of the n-pentenyl glycoside method for achieving complex carbohydrate protein linkages

, p. 1366 - 1375 (2007/10/03)
A new synthesis of the hexasaccharide MBr1 antigen (globo-H) is reported. A revised construction with improved efficiency was necessary because an anti-cancer vaccine containing this antigen is entering phase II and phase III clinical trials for prostate
