Description

Methylb-Neuraminicacidmethylester CAS NO 56070-37-2 is a chemically modified derivative of neuraminic acid, a key component of sialic acids. This compound is a crucial intermediate and research tool in the synthesis of more complex sialoglycoconjugates and sialic acid analogs. It is primarily sought by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors for applications in glycobiology, antiviral drug development, and the production of diagnostic reagents.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: A vital intermediate for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of sialylated oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, and glycolipids to study cell-cell recognition and signaling.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of sialidase inhibitors and other antiviral agents targeting influenza and other pathogens.
• Diagnostic Reagent Synthesis: Serves as a building block for producing labeled sialic acid derivatives used in diagnostic assays and imaging probes.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: Functionalized to create chemical probes for labeling and detecting sialic acid-binding proteins (lectins) and viruses.
• Enzymology Studies: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor in studies of sialyltransferases, neuraminidases, and other glycosyl-related enzymes.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient Research: Investigated for potential applications in functional foods and cosmetic formulations targeting skin hydration and barrier function.
