Description

3-Deoxy-D-Manno-2-Octulosonic Acid Ammonium Salt is a high-purity ammonium salt derivative of a key bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) component. This compound is essential for research and development in glycobiology, immunology, and vaccine development, serving as a critical intermediate or reference standard. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and biotechnology companies focused on infectious disease and immunomodulatory therapies.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a key intermediate in the study of bacterial endotoxin (LPS) structure, biosynthesis, and function.
• Immunology Studies: Used to investigate host-pathogen interactions and the innate immune response to Gram-negative bacteria.
• Vaccine Development: Serves as a precursor or hapten in the development of conjugate vaccines targeting pathogenic bacteria.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity standard for HPLC, LC-MS, or NMR analysis in quality control and method development.
• Enzymatic Substrate: Potential substrate for enzymes involved in the KDO (3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid) metabolic pathway.
• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: Used in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates for therapeutic applications.
