2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucosylamine, commonly referred to as N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), is an amino sugar derived from glucose. It is characterized by the presence of an acetamido group at the C-2 position of the glucopyranose ring. This compound is a key building block in the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, playing a crucial role in cellular processes such as cell signaling and structural integrity of the extracellular matrix. GlcNAc is also involved in the biosynthesis of chitin, a major component of the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi. The substance is typically a white crystalline powder, soluble in water, and exhibits a sweet taste. Its biological significance extends to its involvement in various metabolic pathways and its potential therapeutic applications, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. As a naturally occurring compound, it is found in various biological systems and is of interest in both biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.

2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranosyl amine

Etanercept is a recombinant protein that is used to treat ankylosing spondylitis and other inflammatory diseases. It is a TNF blocker that binds to soluble TNF receptors, preventing them from activating the TNF receptors on cells. Etanercept has been shown to be effective in both adults and children with these disease. Etanercept also has an immunogenicity of about 10%.
