Product Description
Ac4-8-keto-Neu5Ac n-pentyl ester is a selective α2,8-linked polysialic acid biosynthesis attenuator. Acts as a chain-terminating metabolic inhibitor when incorporated in oligo- and polysialic chains, preventing chain elongation and blocking the biosynthesis of glycan polysialic acid (polySia). Does not inhibit cell surface sialylation. Displays low toxicity in MCF7 and AtT-20 cancer cell lines (EC50 = 3 and 4 mM, respectively).
