Glycomonomers of sialic acid in which the acetamide group at C-5 was converted into two kinds of C{double bond, long}C double bond substituents were prepared and the fully protected glycomonomers were directly polymerized before deprotection steps. Radical polymerization with acrylamide in DMF in the presence of ammonium persulfate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine proceeded smoothly and gave corresponding sialopolymers. Interestingly glycomonomers had hemagglutination inhibitory activities not only for H1N1 but also for H3N2 of human influenza virus strains.

Enantiomeric pairs of sialic acid, D- and L-NeuAc (N-acetylneuraminic acid), were converted to D- and L-arabinose, respectively, by chemical degradation. Using this method, the absolute configuration of the sialic acid residues, NeuAc and NeuGc (N-glycolylneuraminic acid), in the gangliosides from the sea cucumber Cucumaria echinata was determined to be the D-form. Although naturally occurring sialic acids have been believed to be the D-form on the basis of biosynthetic evidence, this is the first report of the determination of the absolute configuration of the sialic acid residues in gangliosides using chemical methods.
Design and synthesis of a water-soluble taxol analogue: Taxol-sialyl conjugate
Takahashi, Takashi,Tsukamoto, Hirokazu,Yamada, Haruo

Glycosidation, using the methylthio derivative of N-acetylneuraminic acid 3, of linker alcohol 4 in DME with 'long-range participation' produced the α-glycosyl linkage with high stereoselectivity. The α-linked sialic acid 2 was introduced in taxol without protection of the alcohol functionality in sialic acid.
