Oligosaccharides

Isoprimeverose is a covalently linked polysaccharide with a molecular weight of about 5,000. It has been shown to have an optimum pH at around 7.5 and is soluble in water. Isoprimeverose was found to be highly immunogenic in rats and mice, producing high levels of polyclonal antibodies against the protein target. The carbohydrate moiety of isoprimeverose contains galacturonic acid, which may play a role in its uptake by mammalian cells. The hydroxyl group on the sugar molecule may also play a role in this process. Isoprimeverose can be used as an artificial sweetener because it does not contain any sugars or carbohydrates that can cause tooth decay or other dental problems.

Glycyl-2'-fucosyllactose is a monosaccharide that is modified by glycosylation, methylation, and click modification. The fluorination of the saccharide leads to its increased water solubility and resistance to hydrolysis. Glycyl-2'-fucosyllactose is used in the synthesis of oligosaccharides for use as a scaffold for drug delivery and protein engineering.

SSEA-4 hexaose is a virulence factor that belongs to the lectin family. It has been shown to be activated by binding to lectins, which are proteins that bind carbohydrates. SSEA-4 hexaose has also been shown to have cytotoxic effects on cells and induce apoptosis in some cancer cell lines. This glycan is expressed in many tissues, including brain, heart, liver, kidney, erythrocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes. In addition, it binds specifically to clostridium perfringens and mycobacterium tuberculosis with high affinity.

Mixed DP 10-15 Na galacturonans (α-1,4 10-15 Na galacturonans) are derived from pectin or pectic acid, by enzymatic or partial acid hydrolysis. They are used in galacturonic acid metabolism research as a substrate to identify, differentiate, and characterize endo- and exopolygalacturonase(s) and gluconase(s). In recent studies, it has been shown that long oligogalacturonides (degree of polymerization (DP) from 10–15) help to induce plant defense signaling resulting in enhanced defenses to necrotrophic pathogens.

D-Celloheptaose is a modified glycosylated oligosaccharide. It is synthesized by the methylation of D-cellotriose with 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane and the subsequent reaction with bromoethanol. The product is purified by fractional crystallization from methanol to give a white crystalline solid. This product has CAS No. 52646-27-2 and is soluble in methanol, ethanol, water, acetone and chloroform.

1,4-D-Xylobiose, also called 4-O-(b-D-Xylopyranosyl)-D-xylopyranose, is a beta 1-4 linked disaccharide made of 2 xylose monomers. 1,4-D-Xylobiose is a low-calories sweetener that can be used as an alternative or additive to sucrose. Supplementing a high fat diet with 1,4-D-xylobiose has been shown to prevent and treat obesity in mice.

Raffinose is the most abundant of the family of oligosaccharides that are alpha-galactosyl derivatives of sucrose (Collins, 2006). The other main member of the group is the tetrasaccharide stachyose. Raffinose is found in sugar beet molasses and whole grains. Soybean oligosaccharides make up approximately 5% of dry matter in whole beans and up to 8% of dry matter in soybean meal. Together raffinose and stachyose rank second only to sucrose in abundance, as water-soluble carbohydrates (Kumar, 2010).

N-Acetyl-D-lactosamine heptaacetate is a synthetically produced, fluorinated monosaccharide that is used in the production of glycosylations and polysaccharides. N-Acetyl-D-lactosamine heptaacetate can be custom synthesized to meet your needs. This compound is a high purity product.

The "tallowate" esters are probably the best known derivatives of sucrose and many attempts have been made to commercialise them in order to exploit their excellent surfactant functionalities.  The most functional products are the mono- and diesters of the tallow acids (stearic, palmitic, oleic) with hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) values that lend themselves to surfactant applications in foods and cosmetics.  They also have other uses, for example in coating fruits with a semipermeable membrane that acts as a preservative.  Manufacturing economics have prevented these products from mass production and they remain in niche applications.

4-O-(2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-a-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-galactopyranose is a disaccharide that contains two acetamido groups. It is an acceptor for the receptor activity and has been shown to have biological properties. This compound can be synthesized using lactam and glycosylation with the use of sodium cyanoborohydride. 4-O-(2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-a-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-galactopyranose can also be used in the synthesis of oligosaccharides, which are important for cellular function. 4O-(2 Acetamido 2 deoxy a D glucopyranosyl) D galactopyranose shows high affinity for pertussis bacteria and bordetella pertussis. It binds to the surface of these bacteria,

6'-N-Glycolylneuraminyl-D-lactose sodium salt is a custom synthesis that provides high purity and custom synthesis. It is a complex carbohydrate with a CAS number of 24932-91-0 and an Oligosaccharide, Monosaccharide, saccharide Carbohydrate. This product is Fluorination, Glycosylation, Synthetic, Methylation, Modification.

Kestoheptaose is a long-chain inulin with a molecular weight of 1,000 Da. It is found in the plant family Asteraceae and is the only natural polysaccharide with seven glucose units. Kestoheptaose has been shown to be involved in the regulation of muscle glycogen levels and can be used as a supplement for athletes or those who are active. The biochemical functions of Kestoheptaose have been validated using an oral ethanol extract, which was shown to increase muscle glycogen levels by up to 132%. This extract also decreased malondialdehyde concentrations by up to 41% and increased urea nitrogen levels by up to 89%.
