Description:Butyrylglucosamine, with the CAS number 5441-12-3, is an amino sugar derivative of glucose, characterized by the presence of a butyryl group attached to the amino group of glucosamine. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water and organic solvents, depending on the specific conditions. It plays a role in various biochemical processes and is of interest in research related to glycosylation and carbohydrate metabolism. Butyrylglucosamine can be involved in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and may have implications in the study of cellular signaling and inflammation. Its structural features include a hydroxyl group, an amino group, and a carbonyl group, which contribute to its reactivity and potential biological activities. As with many amino sugars, it may exhibit properties that influence cell adhesion and signaling pathways, making it a subject of interest in pharmacological and biochemical research.
