Abstract
There is an urgent need for new treatment options for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), which is a common cause of life-threatening hospital- and community-acquired infections. Prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination may offer an approach to control these infections, however, none has yet been approved for human use. Here, we report the chemical synthesis of an outer core tetra- and pentasaccharide derived from the lipopolysaccharide of K. pneumoniae. The oligosaccharides were equipped with an aminopentyl linker, which facilitated conjugation to the carrier proteins CRM197 and BSA. Mice immunized with the glycoconjugate vaccine candidates elicited antibodies that recognized isolated LPS as well as various strains of K. pneumoniae. The successful preparation of the oligosaccharides relied on the selection of monosaccharide building blocks equipped with orthogonal hydroxyl and amino protecting groups. It allowed the differentiation of three types of amines of the target compounds and the installation of a crowded 4,5-branched Kdo moiety.

Chemical Synthesis and Antigenic Evaluation of Inner Core Oligosaccharides from Acinetobacter baumannii Lipopolysaccharide. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2022; 61:e202204420.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is currently posing a serious threat to global health. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent virulence factor of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. To explore the antigenic properties of A. baumannii LPS, four Kdo-containing inner core glycans from A. baumannii strain ATCC 17904 were synthesized. A flexible and divergent method based on the use of the orthogonally substituted α-Kdo-(2→5)-Kdo disaccharides was developed. Selective removal of different protecting groups in these key precursors and elongation of sugar chain via α-stereocontrolled coupling with 5,7-O-di-tert-butylsilylene or 5-O-benzoyl protected Kdo thioglycosides and 2-azido-2-deoxyglucosyl thioglycoside allowed efficient assembly of the target molecules. Glycan microarray analysis of sera from infected patients revealed that the 4,5-branched Kdo trimer was a potential antigenic epitope, which is attractive for further immunological research to develop carbohydrate vaccines against A. baumannii.

Abstract
A convenient and divergent approach was developed to prepare diverse bacterial 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) oligosaccharides containing a Kdo-α-(2→4)-Kdo fragment. The orthogonal protected α-(2→4) linked Kdo-Kdo disaccharide 3, serving as a common precursor, was divergently transformed into the corresponding 8-, 8'-, and 4'-hydroxy disaccharides 5, 7, and 14, respectively. Then, these alcohols were glycosylated, respectively, with the 5,7-O-di-tert-butylsilylene (DTBS) protected Kdo thioglycoside donors 1 or 2 in an α-stereoselective and high-yielding manner to afford a range of Kdo oligosaccharides. Finally, removal of all protecting groups of the newly formed glycosides resulted in the desired free Kdo oligomer.
