This paper describes the structural characteristics of substrates accepted by N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) aldolase (E.C. 4.1.3.3), the results from its stability studies, its use in the synthesis of Neu5Ac and 9-O-acetyl-Neu5Ac(Neu5,9Ac2), and the chemical conversion of Neu5Ac to the 2-deoxy derivatives. Values of kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) for 14 aldoses including N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) and pyruvate were determined at pH 7.5 and 25.degree. C in the direction of condensation. The 30.sbd.50-mmol-scale synthesis using ManNAc, excess pyruvate, and PAN-immobilized Neu5Ac aldolase provided multigram quantities of Neu5Ac (yield, 87-91% in solution and 67% in isolated products) without a significant loss of enzyme activity. The synthesis using two separate enzyme reactions, acetylation of ManNAc to 6-O-acetylManNAc to 6-O-acetylManNAc catalyzed by protease N and condensation of 6-O-acetyl-ManNAc with pyruvate catalyzed by Neu5Ac aldolase, provided Neu5,9Ac2 in 59% overall yield. To illustrate the utility of Neu5Ac as a synthetic starting material, a potential inhibitor of Neu5Ac-associated enzymes was prepared. Three chemical steps from Neu5Ac provided methyl 4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-N-acetyl-2-deoxy-.alpha.-neuraminic acid (2-deoxy-.alpha.-Neu4,5,7,8,9Ac5OMe) in 50% overall yield. Its structure was analyzed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
