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.

Frequent occurrences of multi-drug resistance of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria threaten human beings. The CMP-2-keto-3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonic acid biosynthesis pathway is one of the new targets for antibiotic design. 2-Keto-3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate cytidylyltransferase (KdsB) is the key enzyme in this pathway. KdsB proteins from Burkholderia
