Zusammenfassung: | Reversibly glycosylated conjugates were developed by adding complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides to peptides through self-cleavable linkers with the aim of increasing the solubility and stability of the peptides in plasma. The amino or carboxyl group of the peptide was connected to a glycosylated Ascendis or ester/thioester-type linker, respectively. Use of the linkers enabled extended release of the peptides depending on the pH and temperature of the buffer according to a first order reaction, and their cleavage rate was also affected by the structure of the peptide-linker coupling. This tunability will allow optimization towards the intended use of the peptides to be released. Furthermore, because glycosylation is a reliable method of greatly increasing the solubility of a peptide, the presented glycosylated linkers are expected to permit the preparation of antibodies in aqueous buffers even in the case of sparingly soluble antigen peptides. |
