Description

n-Sulfo-Glucosamine Potassium Salt is a chemically modified derivative of glucosamine, where a sulfonate group is introduced to enhance its solubility and biological activity. This modification is critical for applications requiring improved bioavailability and stability in aqueous formulations. This high-purity compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biochemical reagent sectors, particularly for developing advanced glycosaminoglycan (GAG) analogs and chondroprotective agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or building block for the synthesis of novel sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) mimetics and heparin analogs.
• Nutraceutical Research: Investigated for use in advanced joint health supplements due to its potential enhanced bioavailability compared to standard glucosamine salts.
• Biochemical Reagent: Used in enzymatic studies and as a substrate or inhibitor for sulfatases and other carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
• Glycobiology Research: Serves as a standard or tool compound for studying sulfated carbohydrate metabolism and cell signaling pathways.
• Cosmeceutical Formulations: Incorporated into high-end skincare products for its potential hydrating and skin-barrier supporting properties.
• Cell Culture Media Supplement: Explored as a specialized component in media for culturing chondrocytes and other connective tissue cells.

Quality Control

Our n-Sulfo-Glucosamine Potassium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

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