Basic Information
Product Name: D-Glucosamine hydrochloride
CAS Number: 66-84-2
Alias: 2-Amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose hydrochloride, Glucosamine HCl
Molecular Formula: C6H14ClNO5
Molecular Weight: 215.63 g/mol
Structural Information
- Structure Type: Amino sugar derivative, formed by substituting one hydroxyl group of D-glucose with amino group and combining with hydrochloric acid.
- Structural Features: Contains multiple hydrophilic hydroxyl groups and an amino group. It has chiral carbon atoms and typical D-type optical activity. The molecular structure has high polarity and excellent water solubility.
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless, slightly salty taste
- Melting Point: 190 - 194 °C (decomposition)
- Specific Rotation: +70.0° ~ +73.0° (c=2, water)
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water; slightly soluble in methanol; practically insoluble in ethanol, acetone, ether and other organic solvents
- pH Value (10% Aqueous Solution): 3.0 ~ 5.0
- Stability: Stable under dry and sealed conditions. Hygroscopic, easy to absorb moisture in humid air. Avoid high temperature, strong light and alkaline environment.
Synthesis & Applications
Synthesis Method
Mainly prepared by hydrolyzing chitin extracted from shrimp shells, crab shells and other crustacean shells. After deacetylation, acid hydrolysis, decolorization, concentration, crystallization and purification steps, high-purity glucosamine hydrochloride is obtained.
Main Applications
- Health care products: Core raw material for joint care supplements, used to relieve joint discomfort and repair articular cartilage.
- Pharmaceutical industry: Pharmaceutical intermediate for preparing anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, also applied in the research of anti-oxidation and immunomodulatory drugs.
- Food industry: Used as nutritional fortifier in functional food and beverage.
- Biochemical field: Applied in biological research, cell culture and related biochemical experiments.
