Description

Cbz-Neuraminic Acid CAS NO 17367-66-7 is a protected derivative of neuraminic acid, a fundamental nine-carbon monosaccharide and the parent structure of sialic acids. This compound is a critical synthetic intermediate and biochemical tool for the study of sialobiology, enabling the controlled introduction of sialic acid motifs. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic sectors for glycosylation studies, glycoconjugate synthesis, and the development of carbohydrate-based therapeutics and vaccines.

Application

• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: A key building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of sialylated oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, and glycolipids.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a crucial precursor in the research and development of sialic acid-based drugs, including antiviral agents and anti-inflammatory compounds.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard and substrate in enzymatic assays to study sialidases (neuraminidases) and sialyltransferases.
• Vaccine Development: Employed in the design and production of conjugate vaccines where sialic acid antigens are targeted.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Utilized in the production of reagents for detecting sialic acid levels, which can be biomarkers for certain diseases.
• Glycoengineering: A vital tool for the chemoenzymatic remodeling of cell surface glycans to study cell-cell interactions and signaling.
