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.

Fucoidan, Lessonia nigrescens
CAS:A fucan sulphate found in brown marine algae (Phaeophyta-typically Fucus vesiculotus, Ascophyllum nodosum, Alaria and Lessonia nigrescens (illustrated) and has been shown to have anticoagulant activity. The main constituents are α-1,4 and α-1,2 linked L-fucose sulphates although galactose also occurs and there are many variations of the basic structure found in different species of Phaeophyta.

CAS:β-1,3-Glucan is a bioactive polysaccharide, which is located predominantly in the cell walls of yeast, fungi, and certain cereals. This compound is characterized by its unique branched structure, which is crucial for its biological function. The mode of action of β-1,3-Glucan involves the binding to specific receptors on immune cells, such as dectin-1, which triggers a cascade of immune responses. This interaction enhances the activity of macrophages, neutrophils, and natural killer cells, thus bolstering the body's innate immune defenses.The uses and applications of β-1,3-Glucan are broad, primarily focused on immunological research and potential therapeutic strategies. It is extensively utilized in studies examining its effects as an immunomodulator, leveraging its ability to potentiate immune system function and examining its role in adjunctive cancer therapies, where it may enhance the efficacy of certain treatments. Additionally, β-1,3-Glucan is investigated for its potential benefits in reducing infection rates and improving recovery times in clinical settings. Moreover, its applications in dietary supplements and functional foods continue to be a subject of scientific inquiry, aiming to harness its health-promoting properties within nutrition science.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderCellulose acetate - MW 30,000
CAS:Cellulose acetate fiber is one of the earliest synthetic fibers and is based on cotton or tree pulp cellulose. Cellulose acetate is used as a film base in photography, as a component in some coatings, and as a frame material for eyeglasses. It is also used as a synthetic fiber in the manufacture of cigarette filters and playing cards. In photographic film, cellulose acetate replaced nitrate film in the 1950s, being far less flammable and cheaper to produce but in recent years has been rendered obsolete by the advent of digital cameras.Color and Shape:PowderN-Trimethylchitosan
CAS:Quaternization of the primary amine in N-Trimethylchitosan increases the water solubility of chitosan and keeps chitosan soluble over a wide pH range. N-Trimethylchitosan is soluble in water and ethanol, making it ideal for use in biotechnology applications.The degree of quaternization is 30-70%Purity:Min. 90%Welan gum
CAS:Welan gum is a microbial polysaccharide produced by a species of Alcaligenes and shows interesting rheological properties of use in the oil and agricultural industries. The structure is similar to gellan based on repeating glucose, rhamnose and glucuronic acid units but with a single side chain of either an α-L-rhamnopyranosyl or an α-L-mannopyranosyl unit linked (1,3) to the 4-O-substituted β-D-glucopyranosyl unit in the backbone.Purity:Viscosity >1700 CpColor and Shape:PowderDanaparoid sodium - mixture of dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate
CAS:Danaparoid sodium (the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Orgaran; Merck Sharp and Dohme) is a biopolymeric non-heparin drug that is used as anticoagulant and antithrombotic agent, approved for the prophylaxis of postoperative deep-vein thrombosis. It consists of a mixture of three glycosaminoglycans: heparan sulphate, dermatan sulphate, and chondroitin sulphate. Danaparoid, has well established antithrombotic activity. The drug has a high antifactor Xa to antifactor IIa (thrombin) activity ratio, a low tendency to cause bleeding and minimal effects on the fibrinolytic system.

CAS:Please enquire for more information about (Hydroxypropyl)methyl cellulose, viscosity 5 cP 80%-120%, 2% aqueous solution including the price, delivery time and more detailed product information at the technical inquiry form on this page
Purity:Min. 95%kappa-Carrageenan
CAS:Kappa-Carrageenan is a gelling sulphated galactan extracted from red seaweed (typically Mastocarpus stellata and Chondrus crispus). The structure of all carrageenans consists of a strictly alternating masked repeating unit of 1,3-linked α-D-galactose and 1,4-linked β-D-galactose. The α-linked galactose occurs as α-3-6-anhydro unit and the β-linked sugar occurs as the 4-sulphate.

CAS:Starch is a two component polysaccharide mixture of amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear polysaccharide of α (1,4)-linked glucose residues and averages 20 to 30% of the total in most native starches. Amylopectin is a highly branced glucan containing both a (1,4) and a (1,6) linkages. The number of glucose residues in a single starch molecule can vary from five hundred to several hundred thousand, depending on the type of starch. Starch is the major storage form of energy in plants, just as glycogen is the storage form of energy for animals. The plant directs the starch molecules to the amyloplasts, where they are deposited to form granules. Thus, both in plants and in the extracted concentrate, starch exists as granules varying in diameter from 2 to 130 μm.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderChitosan - Molecular weight 310,000-375,000
CAS:Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin. The polysaccharide is deacetylated in order to render it soluble, which is then possible at pH values of less than 7 (normally in dilute acid). This then allows the material to be used in a number of industrial applications as a binder and film former.Color and Shape:Beige PowderDextran 20, MW: 17,000 to 23,000
CAS:Complex glucan (a 1-6) from Leuconostoc spp.; extender in blood transfusions
Color and Shape:PowderPachyman - from Poria cocos
CAS:Poria cocos is an edible medicinal fungus known as “Fuling” in Chinese that has been used as a Chinese traditional medicine for more than two thousand years. Polysaccharide material is the most abundant organic substance in the fungus, accounting for about 85% of the total and is a mixture of polysaccharides with the major component being Pachyman, a β-glucan with a 1,3 backbone and 1,6 side chains. It is reported that Pachyman has a wide range of biological activities including antitumour, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties. Pachyman is a beta-glucan with a 1,3 backbone and 1,6 side chains of fungal origin (Poria cocos).

DEAE-D is also used for transfecting animal cells with foreign DNA. DEAE-Sepharose, DEAE-650 and DEAE-Sephadex are commonly used in chromatography for the separation of biological molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates.Purity:Min. 95%Chondroitin sulfate A sodium from bovine trachea
CAS: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.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderLaminariheptaose
