(4-Methylumbelliferyl)-N-acetyl-α-D-neuraminic acid sodium salt - Introduction
(4-Methylumbelliferyl)-N-acetyl-α-D-neuraminic acid sodium salt, also known as (4-Methylumbelliferyl)-N-acetyl-α-D-neuraminic acid sodium salt (MU-NeuAc-Na), is a chemical substance.
Nature:
MU-NeuAc-Na is a white to pale yellow solid that dissolves in water. Under acidic conditions, it emits blue fluorescence; And under alkaline conditions, its fluorescence will be significantly enhanced. In addition, it has high chemical stability.
Use:
MU-NeuAc-Na are widely used in neurochemistry, Glycobiology and biochemistry research. It is often used as a probe for glycoproteins and sugar nucleic acids to study the distribution, structure and function of sugar components, as well as the interaction with other molecules. In addition, the MU-NeuAc-Na can also be used in the fields of enzyme activity determination, enzyme kinetics study and drug screening.
Method:
MU-NeuAc-Na are generally prepared by chemical synthesis. The main steps include the synthesis of α-D-neuraminic acid, its N-acetylation and O-acetylation, finally, it is reacted with (4-methyl-2-oxo-2h-1-benzopyran-7-yl acetic acid) to form MU-NeuAc-Na.
Safety Information:
Few studies have reported on the safety of MU-NeuAc-Na. As a chemical reagent, it should generally comply with laboratory-related safety practices and avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
