Abstract: | The lactonisation of alpha-Neup5Ac-(2-->8)-alpha-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-D-Glc (disialyl lactose) was investigated. (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts of disialyl lactose and alpha-Neup5Ac-(2-->8, 1-->9)-alpha-Neup5Ac-(2-->3, 1-->2)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-D-Glc (disialyl lactose-dilactone) were assigned based on 1D and 2D NMR results, including edited HSQC, HSQC-TOSCY and HMBC. The time course of lactonisation was followed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) detection. The rate of lactonisation between alpha-(8)Neu5Ac and alpha-(3)Neu5Ac residues (lactonisation at the alpha-(2-->8) linkage) was faster than that of lactonisation between alpha-(3)Neu5Ac and Gal residues (lactonisation at the alpha-(2-->3) linkage). The mass spectra of disialyl lactose, its lactones, alpha-Neup5Ac-(2-->8)-alpha-Neup5Ac (alpha-(2-->8) disialic acid) and alpha-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-D-Glc-lactone (3'-sialyllactose-lactone) showed that the alpha-(2-->8) linkage between Neu5Ac residues is difficult to cleave in the ESI-MS, compared with the alpha-(2-->3) linkage between Neu5Ac and Gal residues. |
