2-Keto-3-deoxyoctonate ammonium salt, 1 X 5 mg (K2755-5MG)

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