• Beschreibung: N-Acetyl-L-neuraminic acid is a glycosylation compound that is an important component of the cell wall of Gram negative bacteria. It is used in the synthesis of polysaccharides and in the formation of complex carbohydrates. N-Acetyl-L-neuraminic acid has been studied for its potential use as a drug delivery agent due to its ability to inhibit the activity of enzymes such as α-mannosidase, which can lead to tumor metastasis. This compound can be synthesized using methylation, fluorination, and click chemistry, or custom synthesized by ordering specific monosaccharides. N-Acetyl-L-neuraminic acid can also be modified with acetate groups to create an acetylated form for use in chemical analysis or as a substrate for enzymatic reactions.
