The specific capsular antigen of Streptococcuspneumoniae serotype 35B was shown by a combination of 2D NMR methods and mass spectrometric and classical carbohydrate chemical techniques to be a high molecular weight polymer containing D-galactose, D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, and ribitol (2:1:1:1). The pentasaccharide repeating unit is polymerized through phosphate diester linkages to give the structure,[Formula: see text]Seventy percent of the β-D-Galf residues glycosidically linked to the ribitol units carry an O-acetyl substituent. Keywords: Streptococcuspneumoniae, capsular antigen, polysaccharide structure.

The structure of the O-poly saccharide component of the lipopolysaccharide produced by Escherichia coli O17 (ATCC 23512) was determined by the use of methylation, periodate oxidation, one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometric methods. The O-polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight polymer of repeating branched pentasaccharide units composed of D-mannose, D-glucose, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose residues (3:1:1) and had the structure[Formula: see text]Key words: Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharide, polysaccharide, NMR.

The capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 (ATCC 27089) is composed of D-glucose (two parts), D-galactose (one part), glycerol (one part), and phosphate (one part). Hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, methylation, enzymic studies, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance experiments showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight polymer of a tetrasaccharide repeating units, linked by monophosphate diester and having the following structure:[Formula: see text]

The capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 3 (ATCC 27090) is composed of D-galactose (one part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part), glycerol (one part), and phosphate (one part). From hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, methylation, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies, the polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating trisaccharide unit, joined through monophosphate diester linkages and having the following structure:[Formula: see text]

Chemical investigation of the roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis resulted in the isolation of six oleanane-type triterpene glycosides (1 – 6), including one new saponin (1) and two (2 and 3) obtained as natural products for the first time. The new licorice saponin (1) was identified as 22β–acetoxylglycyrrhizin from [α]D, mass spectrometric, and UV, IR, and NMR spectroscopic data.. Full assignments of 1H and 13C-NMR data for compounds 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were made for the first time according to 2D NMR methods.

The specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 15 was determined to be a high-molecular-mass polymer having [α]D+ 69° (water) and composed of a linear backbone of phosphate diester linked disaccharide units of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (D-GlcNAc) and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose (D-GalNAc) residues (1:1). Thirty percent of the D-GalNAc residues were substituted at O-4 by β-D-galactopyranose (β-D-Galp) residues. Through the application of chemical and NMR methods, the capsule, which defines the serotype specificity of the bacterium, was found to have the structure                        [Formula: see text]The O-polysaccharide (O-PS) component of the A. pleuro pneumoniae serotype 15 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was characterized as a linear unbranched polymer of repeating pentasaccharide units composed of D-glucose (2 parts) and D-galactose (3 parts), shown to have the structure[Formula: see text]The O-PS was chemically identical with the O-antigen previously identified in the LPSs produced by A. pleuro pneumoniae serotypes 3 and 8. Key words: Capsule, lipopolysaccharide, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 15.

Chemical investigation of a Chinese collection of a marine-derived fungus, Fusarium sp., led to the characterization of beauvericin K, a new analogue of beauvericin. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR methods, and HRMS. Beauvericin K showed significant activity against the yeast Candida albicans with an IC50 value of 6.25 μg/mL.

The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 33F (American type 70) is composed of D-galactose (5 parts), D-glucose (1 part), and O-acetyl (ca. 0.4 parts). Periodate oxidation, partial hydrolysis, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]
