Abstract

α-Neup5Ac-(2 » 3)-β-d-Galp(1 » 3)-d-GlcpNAc (2) and, α-Neup5Ac-(2 » 3)-β-d-Galp-(1 » 3)-β-d- GlcpNAcOMBn were prepared on a large scale by the action of β-d-GalpNAC (2 » 3)α-sialyltransferase (partially purified from porcine liver) on β-d-Galp-(1 » 3)-d-GlcpNAc and β-dGalp (1 » 3)-β-d-GlcpNAcOMBn, respectively. The trisaccharide 2 is the epitope of the tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen CA 50, highly expressed in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
