The tri-LacNAc derivtive is a carboxyl-functionalized synthetic 3-repeat unit of Poly-lactosamine (Poly-N-acetyllactosamine or Poly-LacNAc) equipped with a short triethylene glycol (PEG3) linker/spacer. Poly-LacNAc is a fundamental structure of glycans present on glycoproteins and glycolipids. and plays important roles in many biological processes. Poly LacNAc functions as a carbohydrate antigen and is thought to play roles in normal cellular recognition as well as in malignant transformation and metastasis.
