Definition
A monosaccharide derivative that is D-mannosamine in pyranose form with an azidocarbonyl group substituted on nitrogen and all hydroxy groups acetylated. It can be used to introduce an azido group in living cells which can be metabolized to N-azido acetylneuramic acid and eventually incorporated into the glycoproteins and glycolipids on the cell surface, while exhibiting very low toxicity.
