Description

8-o-Acetyl-n-Acetylneuraminic Acid CAS NO 18529-64-1 is a key acetylated derivative of N-acetylneuraminic acid, a fundamental sialic acid. This modified compound is crucial for advanced biochemical research and pharmaceutical development due to its role in modulating biological recognition and signaling pathways. It is primarily required by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic sectors for applications in glycobiology, antiviral studies, and the synthesis of complex glycoconjugates.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: A critical intermediate for studying sialic acid metabolism, cell surface interactions, and glycan biosynthesis.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel sialidase inhibitors, antiviral agents, and other therapeutic compounds targeting sialic acid-mediated processes.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Serves as a standard or raw material in the production of diagnostic kits for detecting enzymes or antibodies related to sialic acids.
• Bioconjugation and Probe Synthesis: Acts as a building block for creating labeled probes or conjugates for imaging and detection in biological systems.
• Enzymology Studies: Employed as a specific substrate for sialyltransferases, neuraminidases, and other enzymes involved in sialic acid modification.
