Monosaccharides

Fucose (Fuc, 6-deoxy L-galactose) has a methyl group at C6 in place of a hydroxyl group and this gives the molecule a greater degree of hydrophobicity than galactose (Collins, 2006). L-fucose is found in fucoidan, a polysaccharide that occurs in the brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) (Percival, 1967). Fucose is also a key component in many mammalian N- and O-linked glycans, glycolipids, blood group substances and Lewis antigens (Becker, 2003). In human milk, neutral (fucosylated) oligosaccharides (HMO) contain fucose at the terminal position (e.g. 2’ -fucosyllactose and lactodifucopentaose). They represent 35% to 50% of the total HMO content and many in vitro studies suggest that HMOs directly modulate immune responses, acting either locally on cells of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues or systemically to inhibit the expression of inflammatory genes, mainly cytokines (Plaza-Diaz, 2018).

Isopropyl-β-D-thioglucuronic acid is a β-D-glucuronidase inducer. It enhances the sensitivity of β-glucuronidase assays in E. coli.

Ziyuglycoside I is a naturally occurring compound that has been shown to have physiological effects on skin cells. It has been found to bind to collagen and the matrix of skin cells, which may be its mechanism of action. Ziyuglycoside I also has an anti-inflammatory effect, which may be due to its ability to inhibit transcription-polymerase chain reactions (PCR). It has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against some strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics such as erythromycin and tetracycline. Ziyuglycoside I has potential applications in the treatment of infectious diseases and inflammatory skin diseases.

2-Formylphenyl b-D-glucopyranoside is a phenolic compound that has been shown to have high resistance to transport. It has been shown to possess surface methodology and this property can be used for the delivery of compounds. 2-Formylphenyl b-D-glucopyranoside has also been shown to inhibit plant enzyme activities such as detoxification enzymes and carbohydrate chemistry, which are important in the uptake of natural compounds. In addition, it is able to bind with amines and hydroxyl groups on cells, which may be due to its receptor cell properties. 2-Formylphenyl b-D-glucopyranoside can be synthesized by reacting trifluoroacetic acid with an amine and a hydroxyl group in the presence of glycol ethers or natural compounds.

D-Glucono-1,4-lactone is a sugar that is produced by the action of glucoamylase on starch or cellulose. It can be used as a source of food for yeast, in the production of polyesters and plastics, and as a precursor to vitamin C. The pH optimum for D-glucono-1,4-lactone production is between 3.5 and 4.5. X-ray crystal structures have shown that the enzyme binds to crystalline cellulose via hydrogen bonding interactions, which are formed by hydroxyl groups on the enzyme and carboxyl groups on crystalline cellulose. These interactions are important for the cleavage of glucose from crystalline cellulose by D-glucono-1,4-lactone. D-glucono-1,4-lactone has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels in rats with metabolic disorders when administered orally at doses

Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside is a synthetic monosaccharide that has been fluorinated with bromine. The synthetic process for this compound is click chemistry, which involves the use of copper and a chiral ligand. Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside is an example of a carbohydrate modification. It is also an oligosaccharide that contains three monosaccharides.
Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside can be used in glycosylation or methylation reactions due to its high purity and custom synthesis. This compound can also be used as an Oligosaccharide due to its saccharide composition.
