2-(acetylamino)-2,6-dideoxy-D-galactose

Description:

2-(Acetylamino)-2,6-dideoxy-D-galactose, also known by its CAS number 35233-39-7, is a monosaccharide derivative characterized by the presence of an acetylamino group at the C-2 position and deoxy modifications at the C-2 and C-6 positions of the galactose structure. This compound is a member of the family of amino sugars, which are important in various biological processes and can serve as building blocks for more complex carbohydrates. Its structural modifications contribute to its unique properties, including solubility in polar solvents and potential reactivity in biochemical pathways. The acetylamino group enhances its ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its interactions with other biomolecules. This compound may be of interest in research related to glycosylation, cell signaling, and the synthesis of glycoproteins or glycolipids. Additionally, its derivatives can have applications in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, particularly in the development of therapeutics targeting specific biological pathways.

CAS: 35233-39-7

2-Acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-D-galactose (2ADG) is a structural analogue of the natural monosaccharide 2,6-dideoxy-D-galactose. It has been shown to have an antimicrobial effect against aerobacter aerogenes in vitro. 2ADG is metabolized by glycosidases and methyl glycosides to form 1,4-anhydro-2,3,4,6 tetraacetamido-2,4,6 dideoxy D galactose. This compound inhibits the growth of bacterial strains that are resistant to polymyxin b., such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The inhibition of these bacteria is due to the inhibition of the synthesis of their outer membrane lipopolysaccharides by 2ADG. The antibacterial activity is also attributed to its ability to inhibit the metabolism of glycan molecules in some bacteria
