Propyl β-D-glucopyranoside

Description:

Propyl β-D-glucopyranoside is a glycoside derived from glucose, characterized by the presence of a propyl group attached to the anomeric carbon of the glucose molecule. It is a white to off-white solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, particularly in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals. The compound exhibits properties typical of glycosides, such as being non-reducing and having a sweet taste. Its molecular structure includes a pyranose ring, which contributes to its stability and reactivity. Propyl β-D-glucopyranoside is often used as a substrate in enzymatic reactions, particularly in studies involving glycosidases, and can serve as a protective agent in biochemical assays. Additionally, it may have applications in food science and as a potential ingredient in cosmetic formulations due to its hydrophilic nature. Safety data indicates that it is generally regarded as safe for use in research and industrial applications, although standard safety precautions should always be observed.

Propylbeta-D-glucopyranoside

CAS: 34384-77-5

Propylbeta-D-glucopyranoside is a sugar transport inhibitor that is used to inhibit bacterial growth. It has been shown to bind to the glucose transporter and quench tryptophan fluorescence in plant cells. This active form of Propylbeta-D-glucopyranoside also inhibits bacterial growth by binding to fatty acid esters and cytochalasin, modifiers of cell membrane permeability, which inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids. Microcapsules containing this drug have been shown to be effective against staphylococci and other bacteria. The activity of Propylbeta-D-glucopyranoside can be increased by hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide, which increase the solubility of its salts.
