N-azidoacetylmannosamine-tetraacylated is an aminomannose derivative containing an acetyl group and an azidoacetyl group. It is a white or off-white solid that is stable at room temperature. Its chemical formula is C20H30N8O10.
This compound is mainly used as a substrate in Glycobiology Research, and is used to label mannose metabolism and glycosylation processes in organisms. It is commonly used to synthesize mannose-related markers, such as functionalized fluorescent dyes and probes for protein surface glycosylation. It has a wide range of applications in the field of sugar chemical synthesis and glycosylation biology.
The method of preparing N-azidoacetylmannosamine-tetraacylated usually involves two key steps: The first is the introduction of protecting groups for mannose, and the introduction of four acetyl groups into its 1,3,4,6; Followed by the introduction of azide acetyl group under appropriate conditions.
With regard to safety information, specific toxicity data for N-azidoacetylmannosamine-tetraacylated is currently unknown. However, when handling organic compounds, the general safe handling of chemicals should be followed, including the wearing of appropriate personal protective equipment (such as gloves, lab clothes and goggles), operate in a well-ventilated environment and avoid direct contact with skin and inhalation of gases or dust. It is best to use the compound in a laboratory guided by well-trained experimenters.
