METHOD FOR SOLID-PHASE SYNTHESIS OF GLYCOPEPTIDE USING SILICON-CONTAINING PROTECTING GROUP AND SYNTHESIS DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed are a novel method for the synthesis of a glycopeptide by which glycopeptides of various types can be deprotected and excised from a resin, each under weakly acidic to weakly basic conditions, without causing the problems of the epimerization of an amino acid at the a-position and the ß-elimination of a sugar residue; a synthesis device therefor; and a synthesis intermediate to be used in synthesizing a glycopeptide. Specifically disclosed are a method for the solid-phase synthesis of a glycopeptide which comprises a step for obtaining a glycopeptide derivative wherein the N-terminus is protected, the C-terminus is immobilized to a solid phase via a silicon linker, and a reactive group carried by a sugar residue and a reactive group carried by an amino acid side chain constituting a peptide are protected by silicon-containing groups, and a step for obtaining the glycopeptide by deprotecting said glycopeptide derivative and releasing the same from the solid phase by treating the glycopeptide derivative with an agent for removing the silicon-containing groups and the silicon linker; a synthesis intermediate to be used in the step for obtaining the glycopeptide derivative in the aforesaid method; and a device for the solid-phase synthesis of a glycopeptide.
