In recent years, several investigations have revealed the widespread distribution of 2-aminosugars. They are common constituents of a broadly classified group of substances which are known as mucopolysaccharides, having diverse biological functions. With the exception of chitin, all the mucopolysaccharides so far isolated and analysed, have been found to possess, besides aminosugars and other sugars, such substances as glucuronic acid, sulphates, acetates and phosphates. A broad classification of mucopolysaccharides is given in Table I (Meyer, 1943).
