Deacetylation Of N-Acetylglucosamine

View page
US Patent:
20050148546, Jul 7, 2005
Filed:
Dec 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/009376
Inventors:
Alan Grund - Manitowoc WI, US
Thomas Jerrell - Manitowoc WI, US
International Classification:
A61K031/7008
C07H005/04
US Classification:
514062000, 536055200
Abstract:
The invention provides methods of deacetylating N-acetylglucosamine by solid acid hydrolysis on a cation exchange resin. These methods advantageously reduce the amount of acid used and the need for acid recycle facilities. The isolated glucosamine salt produced is very clean, reducing or eliminating the need for further purification steps to decolorize or desalt the product. Using these methods, the number of crystallization steps required are minimized and the degradation of the N-acetylglucosamine in solution is significantly reduced leading to increased yield of high quality glucosamine.
