Product Information

• Name: NButGT
• Synonyms: (3aR,5R,6S,7R,7aR)-3a,6,7,7a-Tetrahydro-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-propyl-5H-pyrano[3,2-d]thiazole-6,7-diol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: NButGT (N-butyryl-glucosamine-1,5-lactone O-(phenylcarbamoyl)oxime) is a selective inhibitor of O-GlcNAcase (OGA), the enzyme responsible for removing O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modifications from proteins. It effectively increases O-GlcNAc levels in cells and tissues without altering hexosamine biosynthetic pathway enzyme expression. It has also been shown that NButGT rapidly increases O-GlcNAcylation of mitochondrial proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation and metabolism. While effective, NButGT served as a precursor to more potent OGA inhibitors like Thiamet-G. These findings highlight NButGT's importance as a tool for studying O-GlcNAcylation in various biological contexts, particularly in cardiac and neurological research. For example, in recent cardiac studies, NButGT pretreatment has demonstrated an improvement in cardiac output and mitochondrial respiration when combined with epinephrine.
