Bacterial pathogens such as Nontypeable (NTHi) can evade the immune system by taking up and presenting host-derived sialic acids. Herein, we report a detailed structure-activity relationship of sialic acid-based inhibitors that prevent the transfer of host sialic acids to NTHi. We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of C-5, C-8, and C-9 derivatives of the parent compound 3-fluorosialic acid (SiaNFAc). Small modifications are tolerated at the C-5 and C-9 positions, while the C-8 position does not allow for modification. These structure-activity relationships define the chemical space available to develop selective bacterial sialylation inhibitors.
细菌病原体，如无特定型（NTHi），可以通过摄取和呈现宿主来源的唾液酸来逃避免疫系统。在此，我们报告了基于唾液酸的抑制剂的详细结构-活性关系，这些抑制剂可以阻止宿主唾液酸向 NTHi 的转移。我们报告了母体化合物 3-氟唾液酸（SiaNFAc）的 C-5、C-8 和 C-9 衍生物的合成和生物学评价。在 C-5 和 C-9 位置可以容忍小的修饰，而 C-8 位置不允许修饰。这些结构-活性关系定义了可用于开发选择性细菌唾液酸化抑制剂的化学空间。
