N-sulfo-D-glucosamine

개요N-Sulfo-glucosamine sodium salt is a synthetic, high purity carbohydrate with a custom synthesis. It is an oligosaccharide that is also a sugar and a saccharide. The methylation of it can be achieved by glycosylation or click modification. Click modification is the addition of a carbon atom to the molecule through the reaction with an electrophile, such as N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. This modification can be used to introduce fluorine atoms into the molecules, which can improve their solubility and stability. The product has shown anti-inflammatory activities in animal models, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
