[h=3]Abstract[/h] A fast chemoenzymatic synthesis of sialylated oligosaccharides containing C5-modified neuraminic acids is reported. Analogues of GM[SUB]3[/SUB] and GM[SUB]2[/SUB] ganglioside saccharidic portions where the acetyl group of NeuNAc has been replaced by a phenylacetyl (PhAc) or a propanoyl (Prop) moiety have been efficiently prepared with metabolically engineered E. coli bacteria. GM[SUB]3[/SUB] analogues were either obtained by chemoselective modification of biosynthetic N-acetyl-sialyllactoside (GM[SUB]3[/SUB] NAc) or by direct bacterial synthesis using C5-modified neuraminic acid precursors. The latter strategy proved to be very versatile as it led to an efficient synthesis of GM[SUB]2[/SUB] analogues. These glycomimetics were assessed against hemagglutinins and sialidases. In particular, the GM[SUB]3[/SUB] NPhAc displayed a binding affinity for Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA) similar to that of GM[SUB]3[/SUB] NAc, while being resistant to hydrolysis by Vibrio cholerae (VC) neuraminidase. A preliminary study with influenza viruses also confirmed a selective inhibition of N1 neuraminidase by GM[SUB]3[/SUB] NPhAc, suggesting potential developments for the detection of flu viruses and for fighting them.
