METHOD FOR PREPARING SIALIC ACID DERIVATIVE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a sialic acid derivative, wherein the method is characterized in that a process of using N-acetyl-D-glucosamine to prepare CMP-M-acetylneuraminic acid and a process of combining sialic acid with galactose or a galactose derivative to prepare a sialic acid (neuraminic acid) derivative are performed together in one reactor. According to the present invention, a high-priced cytidine 5'-monophosphoric acid (CMP) can be recycled in a reaction container, thereby reducing the amount of cytidine 5'-monophosphoric acid (CMP) introduced into the reaction, producing a sialic acid derivative using low-priced N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and pyruvic acid as substrates, and producing the sialic acid derivative at higher efficiency.
