Octyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-b-D-mannopyranoside10mg

Octyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-b-D-mannopyranoside is a glycosylated monosaccharide. This sugar is synthesized by the enzymatic action of acetyl CoA:mannose 3-O-acetyltransferase and bromoacetamidomalonic acid in the presence of ATP. The product of this reaction is an acetamidomalonic acid derivative with a beta (1,2)-linked mannose at C2 and an acetylated alpha (1,3)-linked mannose at C4. The compound has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria that are resistant to penicillin, ampicillin, and erythromycin.
