1-Deoxy-1-acetylamino-beta-D-gluco-2-heptulopyranosonamide

1-Deoxy-1-acetylamino-beta-D-gluco-2-heptulopyranosonamide is a synthetic small molecule with the chemical formula C9H16N2O7. It has been studied primarily as an experimental ligand and inhibitor of glycogen phosphorylase, particularly the muscle isoform (PYGM). Glycogen phosphorylase is a key enzyme in glycogen catabolism, catalyzing the rate-limiting step in the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate, thus playing a central role in cellular and organismal glucose homeostasis. By binding to this enzyme, 1-Deoxy-1-acetylamino-beta-D-gluco-2-heptulopyranosonamide can modulate its activity, making it of interest for research into metabolic regulation and potential therapeutic targeting of disorders involving glycogen metabolism[3][9][10]. There is no evidence that this compound has been developed or marketed as a pharmaceutical product.
