SimGlycan: Facilitating Automated Evaluation of Glycoengineered Therapeutic Glycoproteins using MS Methods

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) based therapeutics are the fastest growing class of human pharmaceuticals [1]. Variation in IgG Fc glycoforms affects the safety, clinical efficacy, and effector functions of therapeutic antibodies including antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) e.g., the terminal galactose enhances CDC activity, but fucose significantly decreases ADCC [2].

Identification and Subsequent Relative Quantitation of Stable Isotope Labeled Released N-Glycans by LC-, ESI-, Tandem MS with SimGlycan® Software

The Monoclonal Antibodies (mAb) are proved indispensable for treatments of various immune-mediated disorders and thus, of high importance to therapeutic industries. Glycans play a critical quality attribute for the therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, where terminal sugars of the Fc glycans are responsible for determining their efficacy and safety. Glycomics analysis involves correct identification of the glycans as well as their subsequent quantitation in the samples.

Automated and Rapid Characterization of Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin Oligosaccharides Using TripleTOF 5600 Mass Spectrometer with SimGlycan Software

Low molecular weight heparins (LWMH) - Enoxaparin, Parnaparin, Certoparin, Deltaparin, Tinzaparin, etc. - have been reported to be the key drugs and are as safe and effective as Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) [1,4] which further necessitates in-depth study of new regulatory drugs. Despite its medical and biological importance, LWMHs are relatively uncharacterized in terms of its chemical structures due to its structural complexity.
