• Beschreibung: N-Methyl-L-glucosamine is a monosaccharide that is used as a building block for glycosaminoglycans. It can be synthesized by the enzyme glucoamylase from glucose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, or supplied exogenously as a dietary supplement. N-Methyl-L-glucosamine is stable in the presence of light and resistant to microbial degradation. This agent has been shown to be effective in inhibiting skin cancer in mice when combined with other agents such as hydroquinone, retinoic acid, and tretinoin. N-Methyl-L-glucosamine has been shown to have antiangiogenic properties on tubule cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in these cells.
