Description

Hexaacetylchitohexaose is a hexamer of N-acetylgucosamine subunits which are linked by β-(1,4)-glucosidic bonds. N-acetylgucosamine is the monomeric unit of the natural polymer chitin which is degraded by chitinases, in mammals, to form smaller fragments that can induce an immune response. Like chitin and some of its derivatives, hexaacetylchitohexaose is a substrate of lysozymes. Hexaacetylchitohexaose has been shown to significantly inhibit tumour growth in mice by the activation of innate and adaptive immune cells.
