Glucosamine hydrochloride (Chitosamine hydrochloride) is commonly used as a treatment for osteoarthritis, although its acceptance as a medical therapy varies.

2-Amino-2-deoxyglucose hydrochloride belongs to the class of hexosamine hydrochlorides and is a reagent used in biochemical synthesis. 2-Amino-2-deoxyglucose hydrochloride can be used to synthesize cyclopropene-modified hexosamine derivatives, such as Ac4GlcNCyoc and Ac4GalNCyoc. These derivatives serve as cyclopropene reporters for detecting metabolically engineered glycoproteins through Diels-Alder reactions in glycobiology studies.

D-Glucosamine oxime hydrochloride is a biochemical reagent that can be used as a biomaterial for life science related research and as a sulfonylation reagent for organic synthesis and drug discovery.
