Description

Mannosamine CAS NO 2636-92-2 is a vital amino sugar derivative, serving as a key biochemical precursor and building block in organic synthesis. Its primary significance lies in its role as an intermediate for the synthesis of sialic acids and complex oligosaccharides, which are fundamental to glycobiology research and therapeutic development. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors focused on glycoscience, glycoengineering, and the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Critical precursor for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) and other biologically active glycoconjugates.
• Glycobiology Research: Used as a fundamental building block to study glycosylation pathways, cell-surface interactions, and carbohydrate-protein recognition.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: Employed in the creation of labeled sugars and metabolic probes for imaging and tracking cellular processes.
• Enzyme Substrate & Inhibitor Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for developing substrates or inhibitors for glycosidases and glycosyltransferases.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient Research: Investigated for potential applications in skin health and dietary supplements due to its role in glycosaminoglycan metabolism.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A standard reagent for synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry programs targeting carbohydrate-based drugs.

Quality Control

We supply Mannosamine in high-purity grades suitable for research and commercial applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We can support development programs requiring material that meets stringent internal specifications for advanced synthetic and biological applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
