A series of unusual sialic acid analogs were prepared using a semi-synthetic strategy. Truncation of natural N-acetylneuraminic acid was followed by diastereoselective carbon backbone reconstruction using Barbier-type carboligations as well as different functional group interconversions, which provided access to a variety of functional motifs in the terminal carbon backbone, including examples of saturated and unsaturated, linear and branched alkyl chains, partially deoxygenated sialic acids, sialic diacids and a first truncated legionaminic acid analog. The synthetic sialic acid probes were studied for nucleotide activation by the CMP-sialic acid synthetase from Neisseria meningitidis using a universal pH-shift assay for kinetic analysis. One-pot enzymatic nucleotide activation and sialyltransfer to lactose was performed using a selection of five probes together with an engineered α2,3-sialyltransferase from Photobacterium phosphoreum to furnish five new-to-nature analogs of the GM3 trisaccharide, which were finally utilized to test the substrate tolerance of two bacterial sialidases. The obtained set of sialic acid analogs and neo-sialocojugates provides interesting opportunities for further glycobiology studies. (Figure presented.).

New 2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-sialic acids and 2,7-anhydro-sialic acids, which are useful as sialidase inhibitors, and enzymatic methods for preparing them are disclosed. The methods include forming a reaction mixture comprising a glycoside acceptor, a sialic acid donor, and a sialyltransferase; maintaining the reaction mixture under conditions sufficient to form a sialoside; and contacting the sialoside with a Streptococcus pneumoniae sialidase to form the sialic acid product. Methods for the inhibition and sialidases and the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases are also disclosed.

CST-II is a bacterial sialyltransferase known for its ability to perform α-(2→8)-sialylations using GM3 related trisaccharide substrates. Previously, we probed the enzyme's substrate specificity and developed an efficient synthesis for α-(2→8)-oligosialos
