What is N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine CAS 7512-17-6？

N-acetylglucosamine, also known as N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine, English name N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, white to off-white solid at room temperature and pressure, with a certain hygroscopic property. N-acetylglucosamine can improve the water retention and elasticity of skin, prevent and relieve skin roughness, and inhibit the formation of fine lines. In addition, the substance is also a commonly used sugar chemical synthesis intermediate, mostly used in the synthesis of glucose bioactive molecules and drug molecules.

Application

1.The important precursor for the synthesis of bifidobacteria, which has many important physiological functions in organisms; In clinical practice, it is a medication used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis; As a food antioxidant, an infant food additive, and a sweetener for patients with diabetes.

2.N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine is the basic component unit of many important polysaccharides in biological cells, especially in crustaceans where the exoskeleton has the highest content. It is an important precursor for the synthesis of bifidobacteria and has many important physiological functions in the body.

3.A derived glucose monomer found in polymers of bacterial cell walls, chitin, hyaluronic acid, and various polysaccharides. D-GlcNAc is used to identify, differentiate, and characterize N-acetyl – β – D-hexanaminidase.
