A method for the enzymatic synthesis of [1‐ 14 C‐ N ‐acetyl, P 18 O 2 ] cytidine monophosphate neuraminic acid (CMP‐NeuAc) is described. Central to the synthesis of [1‐ 14 C‐ N ‐acetyl, P 18 O 2 ]CMP‐NeuAc was the enzymatic preparation of [ γ ‐P 18 O 3 ]ATP for use in a reaction with uridine kinase and cytidine to provide 5′‐[P 18 O 3 ]CMP. The [1‐ 14 C‐ N ‐acetyl, P 18 O 2 ]CMP‐NeuAc isotopomer was then synthesized from a reaction involving nucleoside monophosphate kinase, pyruvate kinase and CMP‐NeuAc synthetase. The isolated reaction yield was 35%. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
