Abstract
Various deoxy- and epi-derivatives ofN-acetylneuraminic acid were synthesized and tested for their substrate properties withN-acetylneuraminate lyase fromClostridium perfringens.N-Acetyl-9-deoxyneuraminic acid is a good substrate,N-acetylneuraminic acid derivatives with epimeric configuration at C-7, C-8 or both are cleaved slowly, whileN-acetyl-4-epi-,N-acetyl-4-deoxy-,N-acetyl-7-deoxy-andN-acetyl-8-deoxyneuraminic acid are resistant to enzyme action.N-Acetyl-4-deoxyneuraminic acid andN-acetyl-4-epineuraminic acid competitively inhibit the enzyme. These studies give further insight into a mechanism proposed for the reversible cleavage of sialic acids byN-acetylneuraminate lyase.
