Monosaccharides

3-Acetamido-3,6-dideoxy-D-galactose is a monosaccharide with two functional groups. It has been shown to be bifunctional and can act as a glycosyl donor or acceptor. 3-Acetamido-3,6-dideoxy-D-galactose was isolated from the type strain of Streptomyces venezuelae. It is also found in fatty acids and some strains of bacteria, such as Bacillus megaterium. The biological properties of 3-acetamido--3,6-dideoxy--D--galactose have been studied using monoclonal antibodies, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).

2,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol-1,6-diphosphate is a cell signaling molecule that is involved in the regulation of glycolysis and the phosphofructokinase enzyme. It binds to platelets and regulates platelet aggregation. This enzyme has been shown to be a potential drug target for cancer. Cancer cells have been found to contain higher concentrations of 2,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol-1,6-diphosphate than their normal counterparts. The increased concentration of this enzyme in cancer cells is due to an allosteric change in the enzyme’s activity. The increased activity leads to a more rapid metabolism of glucose, which provides energy for tumor growth and metastasis. This enzyme can be used as a marker for malignancy in human diseases such as breast cancer or prostate cancer.

D-Sedoheptulose is a sugar that is a member of the pentoses. It has been shown to have a ph optimum of 4.5 and oxidizing potential of -0.18 V. It is also an important intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism and can be used as an energy source by cells. D-Sedoheptulose plays a role in transcriptional regulation and cellular physiology, as well as being involved in the production of acyl chains and disulfide bonds for proteins. D-Sedoheptulose has also been found to have synergic effects with other sugars such as glucose, sucrose, or fructose, which may be due to its ability to act as an inducer of reductive enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD).

8,9-Dideoxy-28,29-dihydro-7,10-dihydroxy-35-O-(2,6-dideoxy-L-ribo-hexopyranosyl)amphotericin B is an antifungal drug that belongs to the class of polyene macrolides. It is a potent inhibitor of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. This compound has been shown to have synergistic effects when used in combination with nystatin against C. albicans. 8,9-Dideoxy-28,29-dihydro-7,10-dihydroxy-35O-(2,6 - dideoxy - L - ribo - hexopyranosyl)amphotericin B also inhibits toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), which is responsible for the induction of inflammatory cytokines such as IL1B and IL8

4-Methoxyphenyl b-D-galactopyranoside is a custom synthesis of a sugar with an active methyl group. It is synthesized by the Click modification of 4-hydroxyphenyl b-D-galactopyranoside and has been fluorinated. The glycosylation process has been carried out using glycone as a precursor to modify the monosaccharide and oligosaccharide. This product has a CAS number of 3150-20-7 and is considered a synthetic compound.

Methyl 2-deoxy-5-O-toluoyl-L-ribofuranoside is a high purity, custom synthesis, methylated, Glycosylation and Oligosaccharide. It has CAS No. 676598-19-9 and is Glycosylated and Methylated. This complex carbohydrate is a synthetic, monosaccharide or saccharide that can be modified with fluorination, Click modification or glycosylation.
