Conjugates 6 and 7 of cancer peptide antigen with N-tetradecanoyl L- serine-β-alanine-containing D-glucosamine derivative structurally related to lipid A as an immunoadjuvant were synthesized for the development of totally synthetic vaccines against cancers. The mitogenic activities of compounds 6 and 7 were stronger than that of lipid A analog 3.

An automated synthesis system, which is suitable for repetitive syntheses using similar reaction procedures, was used to synthesize systematically a library of all possible dipeptides (25) and tripeptides (125) from 5 protected amino acids. The apparatus has also been applied to the automated synthesis of 10 fragment tripeptide derivatives that are constituents of the hormone PACAP-27. The measured molecular optical rotation values of the library of 125 tripeptides were found to correlate well with calculated values obtained by summation of the molecular optical rotation values for the constituent amino acids.
