| Targets |
Colominic acid sodium salt is classified as an antibiotic with anti-infection activity. Its primary application is as a substrate for sialyltransferase enzymes in protein polysialylation research. Polysialic acid (colominic acid) is a form of N-glycosylation that plays important roles in neural development and plasticity. The compound also exhibits antibacterial activity and is used in studying infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.

| ln Vitro |
The N-glycosylation form colominic acid, also known as polysialic acid, is highly selective for a small number of targets in the central nervous system, such as the receptor neuropilin-2 and the cell adhesion molecules neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and synaptic cell adhesion molecule 1 (SynCAM1)[2].
In vitro, colominic acid sodium salt is used as a substrate for CMP-NeuAc:(NeuAcα2→8)n (colominic acid) sialyltransferase. The compound exhibits antibacterial activity. It has an absorption maximum at 530 nm, which can be used for detection and quantification. The compound is used to research protein polysialylation processes. It can be naturally isolated from the cell wall of E. coli or animals. |
| ln Vivo |
No detailed in vivo activity data has been published for colominic acid sodium salt as a therapeutic agent. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for studying protein polysialylation and bacterial infections. It has antibacterial activity that may be relevant for in vivo applications. The compound is used in pharmaceutical formulations including antibiotics and vaccines. Further studies would be needed to evaluate its in vivo efficacy.

| Enzyme Assay |
The sialyltransferase activity of colominic acid sodium salt can be assessed using in vitro enzyme assays. In a typical assay, CMP-NeuAc (the donor substrate) and colominic acid sodium salt (the acceptor substrate) are incubated with the sialyltransferase enzyme. The transfer of sialic acid residues to the colominic acid polymer is measured using radioactive or fluorescent detection methods. The compound can also be detected by its characteristic red color with an absorption maximum at 530 nm.

| Cell Assay |
The cellular activity of colominic acid sodium salt is assessed in cell culture models studying protein polysialylation. Cells are treated with the compound, and polysialylation of target proteins is assessed by Western blotting using antibodies specific for polysialic acid (such as the 12E8 antibody). The compound's antibacterial activity is assessed using standard susceptibility testing methods against bacterial strains such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) can be determined using broth microdilution assays.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
