We have continued our work to develop novel analogues of sialic acid [1-4] that may specifically modulate the interaction between endogenous sialic acid and influenza virus haemagglutinin [3,5,6]. Functional groups of sialic acid that have been implicated for this virus-host recongnition are the gly
A synthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (1) and of N-acetyl-4-epineuraminic acid (2, R = H) from 2-acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-l,2-dideoxy-1 -nitro-D-mannopyranose (3) and 2-acetamido-l,2-dideoxy-4,6-0-isopropylidene-l -nitro-D-mannopyranose (4), respectively, is described. Michael addition of 3 and
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
