CAS 103404-70-2: 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate ammonium

Stability Hygroscopic Applications 3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic Acid Ammonium Salt is a ketosidic component in all lipopolysaccharides of Gram-negative bacteria and has been identified in several acidic exopolysaccharides (K-antigens). Synthetic analogues of KDO may be studied for their potential to disrupt the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall components, and lead to new antibacterial agents. References Altschul, S., et al.: J.

3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid ammonium is a bioreactor that is used in the delipidation of fatty acids. It is one of the most effective natural compounds for removing lipids, and it has been shown to be effective in reducing the levels of galactose and cholesterol. 3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid ammonium has also been shown to be an effective antigen that can be used as a marker for various microorganisms, such as typhimurium, enterobacter, and lettuce.
