2 acetamido 2,4 dideoxy 4 fluoro α d glucopyranose

2-Acetamido-2,4-dideoxy-4-fluoro-α-D-glucopyranose (compound 13) is a potent inhibitor of hepatic glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis.

Benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzoyl-2,4-dideoxy-4-fluoro-α-D-glucopyranose is a biochemical reagent used in glycoscience research, which studies the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. This field includes carbohydrate chemistry, the formation and degradation of glycans, protein-glycan recognition, and the roles of glycans in biological systems. Glycoscience is closely related to fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
