Application

  • Synthesis of KDO Analogues: A significant study focused on the synthesis of analogues of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (KDO), which includes compounds such as 2-Keto-3-deoxyoctonate ammonium salt. These analogues were evaluated as potential inhibitors of CMP-KDO synthetase, playing a critical role in the development of new therapeutic agents targeting bacterial infections and enhancing understanding of bacterial lipopolysaccharide synthesis (Luthman et al., 1987).

Biochem/physiol Actions

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

Campylobacter jejuni outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) contain numerous virulence-associated proteins including the cytolethal distending toxin and three serine proteases. As C. jejuni lacks the classical virulence-associated secretion systems of other enteric pathogens that deliver effectors directly into target cells, OMVs
