Sialic Acids

N-Acetylneuraminic acid (NANA; Lactaminic acid), a nonphenolic structure, is the predominant form of sialic from Collocalia esculenta. N-Acetylneuraminic acid plays a biological role in myocardial injury, melanoma and viral or bacterial infection. N-Acetylneuraminic acid inhibits melanogenesis by reducing tyrosinase activity and triggers myocardial injury in vitro and in vivo by activation of the Rho/Rho-associated signaling pathway through binding to RhoA and Cdc42. N-Acetylneuraminic acid may prevent high fat diet (HFD)-induced inflammation and oxidative stress, thereby prevents hyperlipidemia-associated inflammation and oxidative stress. N-Acetylneuraminic acid is promising for research in the field of melanoma, coronary artery, obesity-related diseases and hyperlipidemia.

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid is a nonhuman sialic acid molecule synthesized in pigs but not in humans. N-Glycolylneuraminic acid works as a decoy receptor of N-Glycolylneuraminic acid-binding influenza A viruses (IAVs).

N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Methyl Ester 2,4,7,8,9-Pentaacetate is a drug intermediate for synthesis of various active compounds.

9AzNue5Ac, 9-azido-9-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid, is a click chemistry reagent and a Neu5Ac analogue with the substitution of 9-hydroxyl group with an azide. 9AzNue5Ac could be metabolized and incorporated into sialoglycans in living cells and mice. Click chemistry has great potential for use in binding between nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, and other molecules, and has been used in many research fields because of its beneficial characteristics, including high yield, high specificity, and simplicity. It contains an azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing alkyne groups. It can also undergo ring strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.

N-Acetyl-β-neuraminic acid methyl ester (N-Acetyl-Neuraminic acid (Sialic acid)) is an ester compound.

4,7,8,9-Tetra-O-acetyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid methyl ester is a class of biochemical reagents used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology studies the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. It involves carbohydrate chemistry, enzymology of glycan formation and degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely related to basic research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.

Neu5GcAc[1Me,478Ac,9N3]-β-SPh is a biochemical reagent that can be used as a biological material or organic compound for life science related research. Neu5GcAc[1Me,478Ac,9N3]-β-SPh is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
