N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (Neu5Ac) API
N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (Neu5Ac), commonly known as sialic acid, is a naturally occurring monosaccharide involved in critical cellular and immune functions. It plays a key role in cell signaling, pathogen defense, and brain development.
Mechanism & Research:
Neu5Ac is widely studied for its roles in:
Neurodevelopment and cognitive support
Immune modulation and anti-inflammatory activity
Viral infection inhibition (e.g. influenza binding prevention)
Supporting gut and infant health
It is also used in glycoprotein and ganglioside biosynthesis, important for cell membrane stability.
API Features (Gentolex Group):
High purity ≥99%
Fermentation-based production
GMP-like quality control
Suitable for pharma, nutrition, and infant formula applications
Neu5Ac API is ideal for use in neurological, immune health, and antiviral research applications.
