N-Acetyl-D-mannosaminuronic acid sodium

CAS: 32452-11-2

N-Acetyl-D-mannosaminuronic acid sodium (NAMSA) is a precursor to uridine and fatty acids. It is synthesized in vivo by the enzyme mannosaminase, which cleaves the glycosidic linkage of NAMSA to form uridine and mannose. NAMSA has been shown to be an essential gene product for S. aureus strains. The activity of NAMSA can be monitored using the assay of radioactive incorporation into sialic acid, which is coupled with gel chromatography. This compound has also been used as a monoclonal antibody to detect CD4+ cells in vitro, and was shown to inhibit the growth of infectious diseases such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Neisseria meningitidis, and Salmonella typhimurium.
