摘要:
The current disclosure, in one embodiment, includes a polysaccharide conjugate. This conjugate has a polysaccharide and at least one monomeric amino acid having an O-group covalently bound to the polysaccharide. The conjugate also has at least one metal conjugated by the O-group of the amino acid. According to another embodiment, the disclosure provides a method of synthesizing a polysaccharide conjugate by covalently bonding a monomeric amino acid having an O-group to a polysaccharide and by conjugating a metal to the O-group to form a polysaccharide conjugate. According to a third embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method of killing a cancer cell by administering to the cell an effective amount of a polysaccharide conjugate. This conjugate has a polysaccharide and at least one monomeric amino acid having an O-group covalently bound to the polysaccharide. The conjugate also has at least one metal conjugated by the O-group of the amino acid.
摘要:
The invention includes glycopeptides having a glycoside and a peptide covalently bound through an amide bond. The glycopeptides may also include a diagnostic or therapeutic agent bound to the glycopeptide. A metal, such as a radionuclide, may also be chelated to the glycopeptide. Specific embodiments of the invention relate to glycopeptides made of chitosan covalently bound to a poly(amino acid) such as poly(glutamic acid) or poly(aspartic acid). Diagnostic agents conjugated to the glycopeptide may facilitate imaging. Specific therapeutic agents that may be conjugated to the glycopeptide include anticancer drugs, rheumatoid arthritis drugs, anticoagulants, anti-angiogenesis drugs, apoptosis drugs, osteoporosis drugs, steroids, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Some agents, such as radionuclides, may have both diagnostic and therapeutic effects. The glycopeptides may be made by combining a glycoside and a peptide in the presence of a carbodiimide and an acid group activator to form an amide bond between the glycoside and the peptide.
