CAS 56070-37-2

Methylb-neuraminicacidmethylester

Description:

Methyl b-neuraminic acid methyl ester, identified by the CAS number 56070-37-2, is a derivative of neuraminic acid, which is a nine-carbon sugar acid and a member of the sialic acid family. This compound typically exhibits characteristics associated with sialic acids, including a carboxylic acid functional group and a methyl ester group, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. Methyl b-neuraminic acid methyl ester is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to glycoproteins and cell signaling, due to its role in cellular recognition processes. The methyl ester modification can enhance its stability and bioavailability compared to its parent acid. In terms of physical properties, it is generally a white to off-white solid or powder, soluble in polar solvents like water and methanol, and may exhibit specific optical activity due to its chiral centers. As with many biochemical compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols to avoid exposure or adverse reactions.
