3-acetamido-3-deoxy-D-glucopyranose

Description:

3-Acetamido-3-deoxy-D-glucopyranose, also known as N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), is an amino sugar derived from glucose. It is characterized by the presence of an acetamido group (-NHCOCH3) at the C-2 position and a hydroxyl group at the C-3 position of the glucopyranose ring. This compound is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits a sweet taste. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, which are essential for cell signaling and structural integrity in living organisms. Additionally, GlcNAc is a key component of chitin, a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi. Its derivatives are also studied for their potential therapeutic applications, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The compound's molecular formula is C8H15NO6, and it has a specific stereochemistry that contributes to its biological functions.

3-Acetamido-3-deoxy-D-glucose (3ADG) is a trisaccharide that is an acceptor for glycosidic reactions. It has been shown to be a good substrate for glycosidases, which hydrolyze it by cleaving the glycosidic bond between the 3rd and 4th carbon from the 3rd carbon of the D-glucose residue. The enzyme specificity for this reaction has been shown to be dependent on the stereospecificity of the enzyme. 3ADG can also be used as a synthetic precursor for oligosaccharides, such as GalNAC, where it is used as a starting material in place of glucose.
