n-acetyl-d-neuraminic acid

Sodium aceneuramate, a sodium salt of aceneuramic acid (sialic acid), serves as an efficacious inhalant expectorant. Upon inhalation, it alleviates airway inflammation and facilitates the production of sputa with reduced viscosity in bronchitic rabbits, mirroring the characteristics of normal air-way secretions.

Cyclic N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine is a monosaccharide used as a precursor in the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of neuraminic acid found in glycolipids and glycoproteins.N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine is a specific substrate for the synthesis of n -acetylneuraminic acid, an essential precursor for bacterial podoplanar polysialic acid (PA).N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine is used in the synthesis of sialic acid. mannosamine is used in the synthesis of sialic acid. It is also an intermediate in the synthesis of many carbohydrate-derived bioactive compound families and drug candidates.N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine is used in the study of cognitive disorders and aging.
