Cas No.7772-79-4 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-acetamido-β-D-glucopyranose

The acetylamino moiety of this compound is an important component of many aminoglycoside antibiotics, such as streptomycin. These antibiotics interfere with protein synthesis by binding to bacterial ribosomes, thus exhibiting antibacterial activity. This compound can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of aminoglycoside drugs and for designing drug molecules with biological activity. Glucosamine derivatives are commonly used to treat inflammation related diseases such as osteoarthritis, as they can promote cartilage repair and inhibit inflammatory responses. 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-acetylamino – β – D-glucopyranose, as a modified glucosamine compound, can be used to develop drugs with anti-inflammatory and joint protective effects.
