Application

2-Aminoacridone is a highly fluorescent aromatic, which contains a primary amine group that reacts with an aldehyde group at the reducing end of a carbohydrate and is reduced to a stable amine derivative by sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Picomolar levels of glycan compounds can be detected using this fluorophore. The resulting derivatzed compounds can be separated by reverse-phase HPLC and detected by positive-ion electrospray MS . An intense fluorescent, hydrophobic probe that is stable over a wide pH range is useful in the derivatization of glycans to allow for the analysis of complex oligosaccharides using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography and reverse- and normal-phase chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy to determine relative concentrations and structural identity of individual oligosaccharides . The λ excitation and λ emission are 425 nm and 532 nm, respectively.
Fluorescent label for glycans and saccharides.

Chitin, a polymer of β(1-4)-linked N-acetylglucosamine found in e.g. arthropods, is a valuable resource that may be used to produce chitosan and chitooligosaccharides, two compounds with considerable industrial and biomedical potential. Deacetylating enzymes may be used to tailor the properties

In quest for high sensitivities, we developed an ultrahigh capillary electrophoresis (CE) method for the structural analysis of heparin and heparan sulfate (HS) in biologic samples. Heparin and HS were digested with an equi-unit mixture of heparin lyases I, II

In this study, we developed an on-line reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC-ESI-MS) separation and structural characterization of hyaluronan (HA)/chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS) disaccharides released by enzymatic treatment and derivatized with 2-aminoacridone (AMAC), providing a high-resolution system also

Malondialdehyde (MDA) has become a well-established biomarker for oxidative stress. The most commonly used way to determine urinary MDA levels is the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay, which suffers from several drawbacks. In this manuscript, we describe a novel derivatization strategy

To improve the separation of monosulfate glycosaminoglycan disaccharide isomers by microchip electrophoresis, we found that addition of 1,4-dioxane (DO) dramatically improved analyte resolution, probably due to solvation effects. Methylcellulose (MC) was tested for the ability to suppress EOF and analyte

Structural modifications of proteins are essential to living cells. When aberrantly regulated they are often the basis of disease. Glycans are responsible for much of the structural variation in biologic systems, and their representation on cell surfaces is commonly called the “glycome.”
