Application

Glucosamine hydrochloride USP reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia. Also, for use with USP monographs such as:
  • Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium Tablets
  • Glucosamine and Methylsulfonylmethane Tablets
  • Glucosamine Hydrochloride
  • Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride
  • Glucosamine Sulfate Sodium Chloride
  • Glucosamine Tablets
  • Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium, and Methylsulfonylmethane Tablets

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is the precursor of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway leading to the formation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), which is then used for making glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. D-(+)-Glucosamine inhibits the coaggregation of Candida yeast species with the bacterial strain S. salivarius.
