Product Information

• Name: 9-Amino-N-acetylneuraminic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 9-Amino-N-acetylneuraminic acid (9AAN) is a neuraminidase inhibitor. It blocks the activity of neuraminidase, which is an enzyme that hydrolyzes sialic linkages in glycoproteins and glycolipids. 9AAN prevents the release of influenza virus particles from infected cells. This drug can also inhibit toxins that target the nervous system, such as botulinum neurotoxin and tetanus toxin. 9AAN has been shown to have a stabilizing effect on the conformation of proteins and has been used to study conformational changes in enzymes involved in metabolism. 9AAN is synthesized by recombinant DNA technology and acts as a competitive inhibitor for the enzymatic reaction.
