A disulfated tetrasaccharide fragment with a spacer arm of human hepatocellular carcinoma carbohydrate antigen SB1a, namely, 2-aminoethyl 3-O-sulfo-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-3-O-sulfo-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-glucopyranoside was synthesized via a [2+1+1] block building mode. In the last coupling step toward the trisaccharide acceptor 8, benzoyl protected galactosyl bromide donor 14 was found to be much more reactive than the acetyl-protected donors. A disulfated tetrasaccharide fragment with a spacer arm of human hepatocellular carcinoma carbohydrate antigen SB1a was synthesized via a [2+1+1] block building mode.

This paper describes a rapid, simple and sensitive analytical method for the quantitative determination of melatonin in human serum by ESI–MS–MS with direct serum sample injection and on-line extraction. The method uses N-acetyltryptamine as the internal standard. It has high specificity and sensitivity for serum melatonin analysis. The internal calibration curve shows a wide linear range from 0.500 to 200 ng/ml with a correlation coefficient, R2>0.999. The limit of quantitation is 0.500 ng/ml and the limit of detection is 0.100 ng/ml with 10-μl sample injection. The recoveries of serum melatonin at three levels are approximately 70%. The intra-assay precision …
