Description

Glcnac-1--4-Murnac(Oac)5 is a key synthetic intermediate in the production of peptidoglycan fragments and related bacterial cell wall analogs. This compound matters for researchers and manufacturers developing novel antibiotics, vaccines, and diagnostic tools that target bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, biotechnology companies, and academic institutions focused on microbiology and infectious disease research.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a critical substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies of peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: For the synthesis of novel antibiotic candidates that inhibit bacterial cell wall formation.
• Vaccine Adjuvant Research: In the development of immunostimulatory compounds derived from bacterial cell wall components.
• Enzyme Inhibition Studies: Used to study the mechanism of action of lysozyme and other glycosyl hydrolases.
• Probe Synthesis: For creating labeled (e.g., fluorescent, radioactive) probes to study bacterial growth and cell wall dynamics.
• Glycobiology: Serving as a building block for the chemical synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.

Quality Control

Our Glcnac-1--4-Murnac(Oac)5 is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot is characterized by advanced analytical techniques including NMR and HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Long-term storage is recommended at -20°C.
