2-Azido-2-deoxy-D-glucose CAS 56883-39-7

2-Azido-2-deoxy-D-glucose has been used to study the substrate specificity of galactokinase. 2-Azido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is the azido analogue of D-glucosamine and may be used as a metabolic chemical reporter by direct labelling of glycans. The azide group is used to link to a fluorescent marker, enabling secondary visualisation and identification of glycoproteins. The azide moiety of 2-azido-2-deoxy-D-glucose has been used to form triazoles via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in the synthesis of molecules with improved solubility used to inhibit p38a MAPK for anti-inflammation.
