Tri-GalNAc(OAc)3 Cbz

Tri-GalNAc(OAc)3 Cbz

Tri-GalNAc(OAc)3 Cbz is a ligand for asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) where the sugars are protected by acetylation and the tris tertiary amine is protected by benzyloxycarbonyloxy (Cbz). This peracetylated tri-GalNAc(OAc)3 Cbz can be serve as a valuable building block for ASGPR-targeted therapies. Its three branches or arms, each ending in a GalNAc sugar, ensure strong binding to hepatocyte ASGPR. However, the key feature lies in its protective groups: acetylated sugars allow for controlled removal to expose reactive sites for conjugation, while the Cbz-protected amine provides stability and can be selectively cleaved to introduce a reactive amine group for further biomolecule attachment, ultimately enabling researchers to tailor tri-GalNAc(OAc)3 Cbz into customized conjugates for specific therapeutic applications.
