Antitumor activities of D-glucosamine and its derivatives [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Zhejiang University SCIENCE B, 2006
The growth inhibitory effects of D-glucosamine hydrochloride (GlcNH(2).HCl), D-glucosamine (GlcNH(2)) and N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) on human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells in vitro were investigated. The results showed that GlcNH(2).HCl and GlcNH(2) resulted in a concentration-dependent reduction in hepatoma cell growth as measured by MTT (3-(4,5 ...

Degradation of N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-Glucosamine in Subcritical Water and Properties of the Degradation Products

open access: yesFood Science and Technology Research, 2011
The degradation processes of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and D-glucosamine in subcritical water were measured using a continuous tubular reactor at 170 to 210°C, and at 190 to 230°C, respectively. The degradation processes obeyed first-order kinetics in the tested temperature ranges.

A simple and rapid method for measuring α-D-phosphohexomutases activity by using anion-exchange chromatography coupled with an electrochemical detector [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
The interconversion of hexose-6-phosphate and hexose-1-phosphate can be directly analyzed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography coupled with an electrochemical detector (HPAEC-PAD). Thus, this method can be used to measure the activities of N-

A FTIR spectroscopy evidence of the interactions between wheat germ agglutinin and N-acetylglucosamine residues [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), a lectin binding a N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid (NeuNAc) and/or N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) group, was studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Deconvolution of the FTIR spectrum of WGA alone indicated the
