    Abstract:
    For the first time, an oligosaccharide has been prepared comprising the lipid A backbone, the core oligosaccharide and one repeating unit of the O-specific polysaccharide (O-chain) of a lipopolysaccharide. Lipopolysaccharide from Vibrio cholerae strain H11 (non-O1) was deacylated and the products were separated by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography. Major fractions were a hexadecasaccharide trisphosphate 1, representing the core-lipid A oligosaccharide substituted by one modified repeating unit of the O-antigenic polysaccharide, a dodecasaccharide trisphosphate 2 and an undecasaccharide trisphosphate 3, representing the core-lipid A region. Oligosaccharide 1 originated from beta-elimination upon alkaline hydrolysis of alpha-galacturonic acid of the O-chain; oligosaccharides 2 and 3 were most likely obtained from naturally occurring lipopolysaccharide species carrying no O-chain. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of monosaccharide composition, and NMR investigations comprising correlation spectroscopy, total correlation spectroscopy and nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy experiments, as well as heteronuclear 13C, 1H correlation spectroscopy. The structures are as follows: [formula: see text] where R is beta-L-threo-hex-4-enuronopyranosyl-(1-4)-alpha-Neu-(2-3)-beta-Gal A-(1-3)- beta-QuiN-(1-4)-beta-Sedf-(2- in 1, beta-Sedf-(2- in 2, and H in 3. Where not stated otherwise, sugars are pyranoses of the D-series. Hep is L-glycero-D-manno-heptose, QuiN is 2-amino-2,6-dideoxy-glucose, Kdo is 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid, Sed is D-altro-heptulose and GalA is galacturonic acid.
