Glucosamine, a natural amino monosaccharide, is necessary for the synthesis of proteoglycan in human articular cartilage matrix, molecular weight 179.2. It is formed by substituting one hydroxyl group of glucose with an amino group and soluble in water and hydrophilic solvents. It is commonly found in polysaccharides and bound polysaccharides of microbial, animal origin in the form of n-acetyl derivatives such as chitin or in the form of n-sulfate and n-acetyl-3-O-lactate ethers (cell wall acids).
Glucosamine is a bone injury drug, mainly used in primary and secondary osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino monosaccharide in the body (especially in articular cartilage). It is a small molecular compound that easily penetrates biofilms, has a strong affinity with articular cartilage, and binds to proteoglycan molecules in joints. Amino monosaccharides are essential substances for the synthesis of proteoglycan in articular cartilage, and can inhibit some enzymes that damage cartilage, protect cartilage, regulate its metabolism, and have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and delay the course of arthritis.
