Serogroup X Neisseria meningitidis (MenX) is emerging in many African countries as a major cause of meningococcal meningitis, but no preventative therapy against this serogroup is yet available. N-Acetylglucosamine-4-phosphate (4P-GlcNAc), the monomeric repeating unit of MenX polysaccharide, is an important requirement for the development of an analytical method specific for MenX polysaccharide quantification. At the moment, this compound is not commercially available. Herein an efficient preparation of this monosaccharide is reported.

Page/Page column 57, (2014/01/07)
The invention provides a conjugate of a Neisseria meningitidis serogroup X capsular polysaccharide and a carrier molecule. The conjugate is typically made by (a) oxidising a primary hydroxyl group in the capsular polysaccharide, to give an oxidised polysaccharide with an aldehyde group; and (b) coupling the oxidised polysaccharide to a carrier molecule via the aldehyde group, thereby giving the conjugate. The conjugate may be part of an immunogenic composition. This composition may comprise one or more further antigens, particularly capsular polysaccharides from serogroups A, W135, C and Y and conjugated forms thereof. The composition may be in an aqueous formulation. The composition is useful as a vaccine, e.g. for raising an immune response in a mammal. The invention also provides processes for making the conjugate.

Six D-glucosamine derivatives, diversely substituted at the nitrogen atom, were tested as acceptors in glycosylation reactions with 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (1) as the donor and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as the promoter.The observed yields were high with 2-phthalimido- and 2-azido-D-glucosamine acceptors and more generally good with acceptors of the 1,6-anhydro-D-glucosamine series.The disaccharides benzyl 4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (20), benzyl 4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (21), 4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,6-anhydro-2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (22), 4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-1,6-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (23), 2-acetamido-4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,6-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (24) and 2-acetamido-4-O-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,6-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (25) have thus been synthesized.
