    Features & Benefits

    Characterestics

    In biological systems it is the precursor compound for the biosynthesis of the sialic acids especially N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, NANA). For this reason N-acetyl-D-mannosamine is of keen interest to scientists around the world. NZP's N-acetyl-D-mannosamine is top grade material suitable for all purposes, biological or synthetic.

    Applications & Uses

    Use of Chemical

    N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) is used for the synthesis of sialic (N-acetylneuraminic) acid. It is also a synthetic intermediate for a number of carbohydrate-derived families of biologically active compounds and pharmaceutical candidates.

    N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine is becoming a favored media component to enhance sialylation in CHO, BHK and HEK mammalian cell culture glycoprotein and mAb production
