3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid ammonium salt Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White Crystalline Solid

Uses

3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic Acid Ammonium Salt is a ketosidic component in all lipopolysaccharides of Gram-negative bacteria and has been identified in several acidic exopolysaccharides (K-antigens). Synthetic analogues of KDO may be studied for their potential to disrupt the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall components, and lead to new antibacterial agents.

Biochem/physiol Actions

KDO is a sialic acid that is a component of bacterial lipopolysaccharides and a possible target for antibiotic development.
