Hexadecyl2-acetamido-3, 4, 6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranoside, CAS:115414-47-6

Hexadecyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranoside (HAT) is an antibiotic that belongs to the class of macrolides. It has been shown to be heritable and its heritability is dependent on the type of animal species. HAT also has a basic structure with substituents that are either acidic or hydroxylated. The heterogeneity in this compound can be seen by the different lactation periods for different animals. Regression analysis was used to find out if there was a correlation between the lactation period and the basicity of HAT. This study found that there was no such correlation and therefore concluded that there is no relationship between HAT’s basicity and its heritability.
