The chemo-enzymatic synthesis is described of tetrasaccharide β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→6)-[β-D-Galp-(1→4)] -β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→O(CH2)6NH2 (1) and octasaccharide β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→6)-[β-D-Galp- (1→4)]-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→4) -β-D-Glcp-(1→6)-[β-D-Galp-(1→4)]-β-D-GlcpNAc- (1→O(CH2)6NH2 (2), representing one and two tetrasaccharide repeating units of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 14 capsular polysaccharide. In a chemical approach, the intermediate linear trisaccharide 3 and hexasaccharide 4 were synthesized. Galactose residues were β-(1→4)-connected to the internal N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine residues by using bovine milk β-1,4-galactosyltransferase. Both title oligosaccharides will be conjugated to carrier proteins to be tested as potential vaccines in animal models.
