Beschreibung

6-Azido-6-deoxy-D-glucose is a fluorescent compound that can be used as a probe for the visualization of glycosidase activity. The compound is synthesized from D-glucose by reacting it with 6-azidohexyl nitrate and sodium hydroxide in a chemoenzymatic reaction. This compound has been shown to bind to the cell nucleus, which can be observed using microscopy. The uptake of this compound into cells is dependent on the degree of polymerization, with monomers being taken up at a higher rate than oligomers or polymers. 6-Azido-6-deoxy-D-glucose is also an inhibitor of beta-cyclodextrin glycosidase, which prevents the hydrolysis of beta cyclodextrins.
