Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are organic compounds formed by the union of multiple monomers, which are joined together by glycosidic bonds to create large and often branched molecules. These complex carbohydrates play crucial roles in various biological functions, including energy storage, structural support, and cell-cell communication. In this section, you will find a diverse range of polysaccharides essential for research in biochemistry, molecular biology, and glycoscience. These compounds are vital for studying metabolic pathways, cell wall structures, and the therapeutic potential of carbohydrates. At CymitQuimica, we provide high-quality polysaccharides to support your scientific research, ensuring precision and reliability in your experimental outcomes.

CAS:<p>Chondroitin sulfate A sodium salt is a glycosaminoglycan that is derived from chondroitin. It is a complex carbohydrate with a high molecular weight and an average MW of 10,000 to 50,000 Da. The synthesis of the monosaccharide units in chondroitin sulfate A sodium salt occurs by Methylation, Click modification, Polysaccharide, or Fluorination. Chondroitin sulfate A sodium salt can be custom synthesized according to customer specifications and can be ordered as a CAS No. 39455-18-0 with high purity.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White Off-White PowderAmylopectin - from maize
CAS:<p>Amylopectin is composed of between 2,000 to 200,000 glucose residues linked α (1→4) with α (1→6) branching. The molecule is highly branched, every 24 to 30 glucose units, resulting in a soluble molecule with many terminal residues. Starch is made of about 70% amylopectin by weight, though it varies depending on the source (higher in medium-grain rice to 100% in glutinous rice, waxy potato starch, waxy corn, and lower in long-grain rice, amylomaize, and russet potatoes).</p>Color and Shape:PowderFucogalactan - from Undaria pinnatifida

Fucogalactan is currently under investigation for possible therapeutic indications including anti-inflammatory properties, immuno- modulating activities, inhibition of tumor growth, stem cell replentishment, antiviral activity, dementia and ulcer healing.Fucoidan ≥ 75 %<br>The image was kindly provided by Prof Mike Guiry from Cork who runs ‘The Seaweed Site’.</p>Purity:(%) Min. 75%Color and Shape:Off-White PowderBacterial alginate - from fermentation of Azotobacter vinelandii or Pseudomonas mendocina
<p>An alginate-like polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of Azotobacter vinelandii or Pseudomonas mendocina. The chemical structure consists of blocks of (1,4) linked-β-D-polymannuronic acid (poly M), (1,4) linked-α-L-polyguluronic acid (poly G) and alternating blocks of the two uronic acids (poly MG). Unlike the alginate from seaweed, this polysaccharide is partially acetylated.</p>Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:~100KDaWheat starch
CAS:<p>Starch is an energy storing polysaccharide produced by higher plants and some algae. Pure starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol. It consists of two types of polysaccharide: the linear and helical amylose (α-1,4-linked glucose) and the branched amylopectin (α-1,4 and α-1,6-linked glucose). Depending on the plant, starch generally contains 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderEthyl cellulose
CAS:<p>Ethyl cellulose is similar in structure to methyl cellulose with ethyl replacing the methyl groups. It is approved for use in regulated markets such as food and pharmaceuticals. In pharmaceuticals it can mask the taste of bitter actives, enhance the strength and appearance of tablets and capsules, and enable controlled release formulations. In food products it functions as a binder, film former and flavour fixative.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White Yellow PowderGlycogen - from oyster for molecular biology
CAS:<p>Glycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. It is the main storage form of glucose in the body. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in liver and muscle cells and functions as the second most important energy storage molecule to fat which is held in adipose tissue. Glycogen is analogous to starch and has a structure similar to amylopectin, but is more extensively branched and compact than starch. It occurs as granules in the cytosol/cytoplasm in many cell types, and plays an important role in the glucose cycle.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Hydroxypropyl cellulose - Average MW 80,000
CAS:<p>In water, hydroxypropyl cellulose forms liquid crystals with many mesophases depending on concentration. These mesophases include isotropic, anisotropic, nematic and cholesteric, the latter resulting in many colors such as violet, green and red. Pharmaceutical applications include treatments for medical conditions such as dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), recurrent corneal erosions, decreased corneal sensitivity, exposure and neuroparalytic keratitis. It is also used as a binder in tablets. Hydroxypropylcellulose is also used as a thickener, a binder and emulsion stabiliser in foods with E number E463. HPC is used as a support matrix for DNA separations by capillary and microchip electrophoresis.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran - Average MW 70,000

It is biologically rather inert having α-1,6-linked glucose residues resistant to cleavage by most endogenous cellular glycosidases. It has low immunogenicity and makes an ideal long-term tracer for live cells. FD also serves as a valuable marker for cell loading of macromolecules by micro-injection, vesicular fusion, and electroporation, as well as for the uptake and internal processing of exogenous materials by phagocytotic and endocytic pathways.</p>Purity:Min. 95%HM Pectin
CAS:<p>Pectins are regarded as linear chains of α-1,4-linked D-galacturonic acid, a homogalacturonan (pectic acid). In the products of commerce, the degree of methylation has a vital influence on the properties of pectin, especially the solubility and gel forming characteristics. Commercial high methoxy (HM) pectin has > 70% of hydroxyl groups methyl esterified. HM pectin forms gels in the presence of sucrose and for this reason it is used in jams often in combination with other fruits.</p>Purity:(%) Min. 85%Color and Shape:PowderDiethylaminoethyl-dextran HCl

CAS:<p>Chondroitin sulfate A sodium from bovine trachea is a natural substance that has been found to have potential anticancer properties. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in Chinese hamster ovary cells and human urine tumor cell lines. Chondroitin sulfate A sodium from bovine trachea works by inhibiting kinases, which are proteins that play a key role in cell growth and division. This inhibition leads to apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells. Additionally, chondroitin sulfate A sodium from bovine trachea has been found to enhance the anticancer activity of artesunate analogs, making it a promising candidate for combination therapy in cancer treatment.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Powder
