Glycosylation is one of the most important posttranslational modifications of proteins and plays crucial roles in numerous biological processes. A portion of Lipids are also glycosylated, and glycosphingolipids are a major sub-class of glycolipids. Sialic acid is a representative acidic monosaccharide residue and N-acetylneuraminic acid is the predominant sialic acid form in human. Sialic acid is the terminal sugar in N-, GSL-, and O-glycans attached via α2,3- and α2,6-linkages, resulting to form structural isomers. Glycan isomers with different sialic acid linkage cannot be distinguished by MS analysis due to the same molecular weight.
In the present study, we report two different procedures of sialic acid linkage-specific alkylamidation by intramolecular lactone ring-opening aminolysis and lactone-driven ester-to-amide derivatization.
