General description

2′-(4-Methylumbelliferyl)-α-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid or 4-MUNANA is a synthetic fluorometric substrate that mimics the naturally occurring neuraminidase enzyme substrate. The enzyme-substrate hydrolysis results in the product 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU), measured fluorometrically.

Application

2′-(4-Methylumbelliferyl)-α-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid or 4-MUNANA is used as a substrate for the development of a microplate-based assay for neuraminidase inhibitors. The fluorogenic substrate 2ʹ-(4-methylumbelliferyl)-α-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid (4-MUNANA) is used to study the molecular mechanisms of aspirin and celecoxib targeting mammalian neuraminidase-1.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Substrate for fluorometric assay of neuraminidase. Used for fluorescent staining of sialidases in PAGE.

Many assays aimed to test the inhibitory effects of synthetic molecules, and naturally occurring products on the neuraminidase activity exploit the hydrolysis of 2'-O-(4-methylumbelliferyl)-N-acetylneuraminic acid (4-MUNANA). The amount of the released product, 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU), is then measured fluorimetrically. The authors

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and celecoxib have been used as potential anti-cancer therapies. Aspirin exerts its therapeutic effect in both cyclooxygenase (COX)-dependent and -independent pathways to reduce tumor growth and disable tumorigenesis. Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, reduces factors that
