To gain more insight into the structure-activity relationship of the enzymes of sialic acid metabolism we recently prepared a series of sialic acid analogues2-4 and determined their surface profiles 5,6. For CMP-sialate synthase to recognize its substrate, we found that the three hydrophilic functio

✦ Synopsis
Methyl-2-R-chloro-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-N-acetylneuraminate 2 respectively methyl-2,3-didehydro-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-N-acetylneuraminate 3 were transformed by catalytic hydrogenation or by reduction with tributyltin hydride to the corresponding 2-deoxy derivatives 4 and 5, which gave after saponification the acids 6 and 7. Both epimers are not Inhibitors of CMP-sialate synthetase (EC 2.7.7,43), whereas the 2-B-methylketoside of Neu5Ac behaves as a competitive inhibitor of the activation of Neu5Ac (N-acetylneuraminic acid). Recently the synthesis of both epimeric E-deoxy analogues of KDO (3-deoxy-
