Abstrakt: The synthesis of 2-S-(2-aminoethyl) 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-α-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosidon ic acid (1) has been successfully achieved from the precursors methyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-2-S-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-α-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosonate (2) and 2-bromo-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-ethylamine (5). Compounds 1 and 2 were coupled, via amino and thioglycosidic linkages, respectively, to epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B. The resultant affinity adsorbents have proved efficient in purifying the sialic acid-recognizing enzyme Vibrio cholerae sialidase, in a one-step process with yields in the order of 60%.
