N-Methyl-D-glucamine (Meglumine) is a sorbitol derivative in which one of the hydroxyl groups has been replaced with a methylamino group. Meglumine is widely used with iodinated organic compounds as a contrast media.
Application
N-Methyl-D-glucamine can be used as a co-crystal conformer as well as a salt-forming agent due to its hydrophilic nature and ability to modify the crystalline structure of the drug molecule to improve solubility. It is also used to functionalize polymers and resins to develop chelating agents for the removal of boron and arsenic from wastewater.

Mammalian oocytes are enveloped by the zona pellucida (ZP), an extracellular matrix of glycoproteins. In sperm, stimulation with ZP proteins evokes a rapid Ca2+ influx via the sperm-specific, pH-sensitive Ca2+ channel CatSper. However, the physiological role and molecular mechanisms underlying

To further investigate our hypothesis on the structure of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor, 35 compounds derived from 1,4-bis(3',4',5'-trimethoxybenzoyl)piperazine were synthesized and their in vitro antagonistic effect was measured. Substitution of the compounds in position 2, by ester or carbamate
