| Abstract: | The Ala(1)-Gly(28) glycopeptide fragment (28) of EPO was prepared by chemical synthesis as a single glycoform. Key steps in the synthesis include attachment of a complex dodecasaccharide (7) to a seven amino acid peptide via Lansbury aspartylation, native chemical ligation to join peptide 19 with the glycopeptide domain 18, and a selective desulfurization at the ligation site to reveal the natural Ala(19). This glycopeptide fragment (28) contains both the requisite N-linked dodecasaccharide and a C-terminal (α)thioester handle, the latter feature permitting direct coupling with a glycopeptide fragment bearing N-terminal Cys(29) without further functionalization. © 2009 American Chemical Society. |
