Description

n-Acetyl-9-(Acetylamino)-9-Deoxyneuraminic Acid is a chemically modified derivative of neuraminic acid, a key component of sialic acids. This compound is a crucial advanced intermediate and research standard for the synthesis and study of more complex sialylated glycoconjugates. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, biotechnology companies, and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in glycobiology, antiviral drug development, and the production of high-value biochemical reagents.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: Serves as a critical building block and reference standard for studying sialic acid metabolism, cell surface recognition, and signaling pathways.
• Antiviral Drug Development: Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of neuraminidase inhibitors and other compounds targeting viral adhesion and entry mechanisms.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Synthesis: Acts as a starting material for creating labeled sialic acid derivatives used in diagnostic assays and imaging studies.
• Enzymology Studies: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor for sialyltransferases, neuraminidases, and other enzymes involved in glycosylation processes.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: A key intermediate for the custom synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycopeptides for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Quality Control

Our n-Acetyl-9-(Acetylamino)-9-Deoxyneuraminic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and MS, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, assay results, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation.
