Description

n-Acetylneuraminic Acid Methyl Glycoside is a chemically modified derivative of sialic acid, a critical carbohydrate found in glycoproteins and glycolipids. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and reference standard in advanced biochemical research and pharmaceutical development. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic sectors who require high-purity building blocks for glycan synthesis and metabolic studies.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: Used as a key intermediate in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and sialylated glycoconjugates.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a precursor or reference standard in the development of sialidase inhibitors, antiviral agents, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of substrates and calibrators for enzymatic assays targeting sialidases or sialyltransferases.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for creating labeled probes (e.g., fluorescent, biotinylated) used to study cell surface recognition and carbohydrate-protein interactions.
• Nutritional Science Studies: Utilized in research investigating the role of sialic acid derivatives in infant nutrition and cognitive development.
• Quality Control & Standardization: Functions as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality assurance of related biologics and complex carbohydrate-based products.
