UsesVarious publications have cited the use of N,N',N'',N''',N'''',N'''''-Hexaacetylchitohexaose in mutagenesis studies due to its antitumor effects. Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose is a hexamer of N-acetylglucosamine, a subunit of the natural polymer chitin. It functions as an elicitor in plants, inducing the expression of chitinases.Like chitin and some of its derivatives, hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose is a substrate of lysozyme.It also binds LysM domains on certain proteins, including an endopeptidase of T. thermophilus.Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose heightens the immune response against Pseudomonas and Listeria in mice, stimulates cytokine secretion in mesenchymal stem cells, and inhibits nitric oxide production by activated macrophages.
