N-acetylneuraminic acid is an active ingredient in tonic foods and an important additive in foods and biopharmaceuticals. To address the limitations of existing methods of N-acetylneuraminic acid quantification, we developed an immunoassay based on antibodies induced in hens using artificial antigen, showing high sensitivity and specificity with no cross-reactivity with eight N-acetylneuraminic acid analogues. An IgY-based indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed a detection range of 1.14 to 70.08 ng/mL and a limit of detection of 0.57 ng/mL. In spiked samples, recoveries by the indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ranged from 74.05% to 110.87% compared with HPLC (73.01% to 108.8%). Consistency between the indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and HPLC was satisfactory (R = 0.9736), demonstrating this established immunoassay as a rapid and reliable approach for N-acetylneuraminic acid analysis. The assay described in this study provides an important method for the screening of N-acetylneuraminic acid in biological samples and foodstuffs.

N-acetylneuraminic acid promotes ferroptosis of H9C2 cardiomyocytes with hypoxia/reoxygenation injury by inhibiting the Nrf2 axis.

Objectives: To investigate the mechanism through which N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) exacerbates hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in rat cardiomyocytes (H9C2 cells).
Methods: H9C2 cells were cultured in hypoxia and glucose deprivation for 8 h followed by reoxygenation for different durations to determine the optimal reoxygenation time. Under the optimal H/R protocol, the cells were treated with 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 mmol/L Neu5Ac during reoxygenation to explore the optimal drug concentration.
N-acetylated sugars in clownfish and damselfish skin mucus as messengers involved in chemical recognition by anemone host.

The clownfish - sea anemone system is a great example of symbiotic mutualism where host «toxicity» does not impact its symbiont partner, although the underlying protection mechanism remains unclear. The regulation of nematocyst discharge in cnidarians involves N-acetylated sugars like sialic acid, that bind chemoreceptors on the tentacles of sea anemones, leading to the release of stings. It has been suggested that clownfish could be deprived of sialic acid on their skin surface, sparing them from being stung and facilitating mutualism with sea anemones.

Sialic acids derived from colonic mucin glycans are crucial nutrients for enteric bacterial pathogens like . The uptake and utilization of sialic acid in depend on coordinated regulons, each activated by specific metabolites at the transcriptional level. However, the mechanisms enabling crosstalk among these regulatory circuits to synchronize gene expression remain poorly understood.

Comparison of the reactivity of sialyl chlorides and bromides based on -acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its deaminated analogue (KDN) in reactions with MeOH and -PrOH without a promoter revealed that the acetoxy group at C-5 in a molecule of a sialic acid glycosyl donor can destabilize the corresponding glycosyl cation making the S1-like reaction pathway unfavorable. A change to the S2-like reaction pathway ensures preferential formation of the α-glycoside.

Certain species D human adenoviruses (HAdV-D19, -D37, and -D64) are causative agents of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis. HAdV-D37 has previously been shown to bind CD46 (membrane cofactor protein) and sialic acid as adhesion receptors. HAdV-D64 is genetically highly similar to HAdV-D37, with an identical fiber protein sequence, but differs substantially in its penton base and hexon proteins, two other major capsid components, due to genetic recombination.
