TLDR
Periodate oxidation of terminalN-acetyl- andN-glycoloylneuraminic acid residues in the mucins from edible bird nest substance and pig submandibular gland can be carried out under conditions which exclusively give rise to the formation of the C-7 analogues of these sialic acids.
Abstract
Periodate oxidation of terminalN-acetyl- andN-glycoloylneuraminic acid residues in the mucins from edible bird nest substance and pig submandibular gland, respectively, can be carried out under conditions which exclusively give rise to the formation of the C-7 analogues of these sialic acids. In contrast, the C-8 compounds can be obtained in a maximum yield of about 40%. Under identical conditions,N-glycoloylneuraminic acid is oxidized about 1.5 times faster than theN-acetylated derivative. After release of the sialic acids by acid hydrolysis, the characterization of the oxidation products was carried out by TLC, by GLC and GLC-MS of the corresponding pertrimethylsilyl derivatives, and by 500-MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy. In addition, molar response factors for GLC analysis and extinction coefficients in the orcinol/Fe3+/HCl assay were determined.

Theoretical Studies on the Electronic Structure Parameters and Reactive Activity of Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac under Food Processing Solvent Environment.

TL;DR: The orbital analysis showed that the amide group and carboxyl group confer the sites with susceptibility to nucleophilic and electrophilic attack, respectively, and the solvent effect showed that polar solvents, such as formic acid and water, can enhance the two molecules’ nucleophile activity.
