Description

Alpha-D-glucosamine pentaacetate is a carbohydrate that is a member of the glycoconjugates family. It is an acetylated form of alpha-D-glucosamine and is used in the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans. Alpha-D-Glucosamine pentaacetate has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of methylation reactions. It can also be used as a fluorinating agent in organic synthesis or Click chemistry, which involves the reaction between an azide group and an alkyne group. Alpha-D-Glucosamine pentaacetate has been shown to be a potent antiviral agent against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) by blocking viral adsorption and penetration into cells, inhibiting DNA replication, and reducing viral titers.
