hepta-N-acetylchitoheptaose

Description:

Hepta-N-acetylchitoheptaose is a complex oligosaccharide composed of seven N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units linked together, forming a chito-oligosaccharide structure. This compound is derived from chitin, a biopolymer found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans and the cell walls of fungi. The N-acetyl groups contribute to its solubility and biological activity. Hepta-N-acetylchitoheptaose exhibits various characteristics, including its potential as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. It may also play a role in immunomodulation and has applications in biomedicine and biotechnology. The oligosaccharide's structure influences its interaction with biological systems, making it a subject of interest in research related to glycoscience and carbohydrate chemistry. Its CAS number, 79127-58-5, serves as a unique identifier for regulatory and commercial purposes. Overall, hepta-N-acetylchitoheptaose is significant in both natural processes and potential therapeutic applications due to its unique structural properties and biological functions.

CAS: 79127-58-5

Chitinases are enzymes that hydrolyze chitin, a polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of insects, fungi and other invertebrates. Chitohexaose is a sugar that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It is a carbohydrate with six acetyl groups attached to it. When this sugar reacts with ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) in an acidic environment, it produces N,N',N'',N''',N'''',N''''',N''''''-heptaacetylchitoheptaose. This reaction system can be used as a chitinase preparation for investigating the biological effects of chitohexaose. The magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to study the reaction system and revealed that the product is a hexamer with six acetyl groups on each monomer.
