  • Patent number: 10081653
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a 6-aminohexyl lactoside-NOTA conjugate. The preparation method comprises brominating perbenzoylated lactose with hydrobromic acid; glycosylating 6-azidohexanol to obtain 6-azidohexyl perbenzoyl lactoside; and deprotecting this precursor in two steps to obtain 6-aminohexyl lactoside and conjugating 6-aminohexyl lactoside to NCS-benzyl-NODA GA (i.e. 2,2?-(7-(1-carboxy-4-((4-isothiocyanate benzyl) amino)-4-oxobutyl)-1,4,7-triazonane-1,4-diyl) diacetic acid) in triethyl amine as an alkaline solvent, to obtain a 6-aminohexyl lactoside-NCS-benzyl-NODA GA conjugate. In this novel preparation method, no deglycosylated side product is produced, such that the yield is considerably increased to 46%. Therefore, the method is suitable for future massive production since the requirement for repeated preparations for massive production is reduced, and the impurities produced in the previously scaled-up preparation process are not present.

  • Patent number: 10081664
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.
