Methyl α-D-xylopyranoside

Description:

Methyl α-D-xylopyranoside is a glycoside derived from the sugar xylopyranose, characterized by its structure that includes a methyl group attached to the anomeric carbon of the xylopyranose ring. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which facilitate hydrogen bonding. It has a sweet taste, making it relevant in food and pharmaceutical applications. Methyl α-D-xylopyranoside is often used as a substrate in enzymatic reactions and as a standard in carbohydrate analysis. Its molecular formula is C7H14O5, and it has a specific rotation that reflects its optical activity, a common trait among sugars. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. As with many carbohydrates, it is important to handle it with care, as it can be a potential allergen for some individuals.

Methyl a-D-xylopyranoside

CAS: 91-09-8

Methyl a-D-xylopyranoside is an iron chelator that can be used as a mycobacterial drug candidate. It binds to both ferric and ferrous iron, and has been shown to inhibit the uptake of ferric iron by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It also inhibits the synthesis of siderophores, which are molecules produced by bacteria in order to acquire iron from their environment. Methyl a-D-xylopyranoside does not bind to the alpha-d-glucopyranoside moiety typically found in iron complexes. This is due to its hydroxamate group, which causes it to have an increased affinity for Fe3+. This compound is active against gram negative bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, but not against gram positive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae.
