N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG), also known as GlcNAc, is a monosaccharide that is an essential component of various biological molecules. It is widely distributed in nature and is a key constituent of chitin, hyaluronic acid, and proteoglycans . Chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, is the second most abundant carbohydrate after cellulose and can be found in the cell walls of fungi, exoskeletons of arthropods, and in some microorganisms .
N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine has several industrial applications and is gaining interest as a functional material with high potential in various fields. It is used in the production of chitosan, which has been reported to have anticancer properties and can inhibit tumor cells directly by interfering with cell metabolism and inducing apoptosis. Additionally, chitosan can enhance the body's immune function, exhibiting antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo .
Moreover, N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly as a precursor for the synthesis of sialic acids, which are important in various biological processes, including cell recognition and acting as receptors for influenza viruses . The industrial production of GlcNAc can be achieved through chemical, enzymatic, and biotransformation methods, starting from chitin as a substrate. New methods are also being developed using genetically modified microorganisms to produce GlcNAc from glucose .
