Octyl D-glucuronic acid

CAS: 208400-78-6

Octyl D-glucuronic acid is a glycosylation agent that can be used to modify the surface of proteins and polymers. It is an oligosaccharide that contains eight glucose molecules linked by beta 1-4 glycosidic bonds. Octyl D-glucuronic acid has been shown to have a high purity, with no detectable impurities or contaminants. The modification of proteins and polymers with this molecule has been shown to increase their stability and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, heat, pH changes, and light exposure. It also increases the hydrophilicity of the modified material and can be used for click chemistry reactions using azide or alkyne functional groups. Octyl D-glucuronic acid is commercially available from Sigma Aldrich in different grades: Technical Grade (TG), Analytical Grade (AG), Pharmaceutical Grade (PG).
