- Overview
  - D-Glucosamine (GlcN) is an aldohexose (2-Amino-2-deoxyglucose) in which the hydroxyl group at position 2 is replaced by an amino group (Collins, 2006). D-Glucosamine is found in chitosan as the N-Acetylated derivative in chitin (Rudrapatnam, 2003), glycoproteins, glycolipids and the glycosaminoglycan hyaluronic acid (Fallacara, 2018). Glucosamine, as its sulfate salt, often in combination with the polydisaccharide chondroitin, is marketed over-the-counter as a treatment for osteoarthritis inflammation and its accompanying pain. Only the D-enantiomer of glucosamine exists in nature.
