Product Information

• Name: Methyl N-trifluoroacetyldaunosaminide
• Synonyms: Methyl 2,3,6-trideoxy-3-[(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)amino]-L-lyxo-hexopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl N-trifluoroacetyldaunosaminide is a naturally occurring amino sugar that has been shown to have biological relevance. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of bacterial enzymes, such as daunosamine reductase and daunosamine kinase, which are involved in the biosynthesis of anthracyclines in bacteria. The structural analogues of methyl N-trifluoroacetyldaunosaminide have been shown to be effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium complex and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
