Product Information

• Name: 2-Acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-D-galactose
• Synonyms: N-Acetyl-D-fucosamineFucNAc
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-D-galactose (2ADG) is a structural analogue of the natural monosaccharide 2,6-dideoxy-D-galactose. It has been shown to have an antimicrobial effect against aerobacter aerogenes in vitro. 2ADG is metabolized by glycosidases and methyl glycosides to form 1,4-anhydro-2,3,4,6 tetraacetamido-2,4,6 dideoxy D galactose. This compound inhibits the growth of bacterial strains that are resistant to polymyxin b., such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The inhibition of these bacteria is due to the inhibition of the synthesis of their outer membrane lipopolysaccharides by 2ADG. The antibacterial activity is also attributed to its ability to inhibit the metabolism of glycan molecules in some bacteria
