Thermo Scientific Chemicals D-Mannosamine hydrochloride, 98%
Description
D-Mannosamine hydrochloride is used in the synthesis of non-natural Mannac analogs for the expression of thiols on cell-surface sialic acids. It is also used to investigate and screening of N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase inhibitor libraries targeting osteoarthritis. It acts as a precursor of N-propanoyl mannosamine and other N-acyl precursors of sialic acid (N-acyl neuraminic acids). It is a pharmaceutical compound used in the development of mannosylated liposomes for bioadhesive oral drug delivery through M cells of Peyer's patches.
