1-O-Methyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside is a matrix component that is used as an artificial sweetener. This product has been shown to have the ability to protect cells against radiation and toxic chemicals. 1-O-Methyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside also inhibits the growth of coliform bacteria by inhibiting their energy metabolism and may be used for wastewater treatment. It has been shown to be effective in analytical methods to identify the presence of human feces in water samples.

Fleetamine is a piperidine compound that has been shown to be an inhibitor of the enzyme glycosylation. Inhibitors of glycosylation are useful for treating diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. It is thought that Fleetamine may inhibit human glycosylating enzymes, such as glucosyl transferase, which catalyzes the addition of a glucose molecule to a protein. This inhibition prevents the formation of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, which are necessary for proper functioning of cells.

Isosorbide dinitrate is a drug that belongs to the class of nitrates. It is used in the treatment of angina pectoris, as well as congestive heart failure and chronic heart failure. Isosorbide dinitrate has been shown to cause caspase-independent cell death in human leukemia cells and breast cancer cells. This may be due to its ability to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and interfere with intracellular calcium mobilization. The optimum concentration for isosorbide dinitrate is 10 µM, which inhibits the growth of bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The drug also inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α by inhibiting c-jun phosphorylation. Isosorbide dinitrate also has anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit 4-hyd

Emodin is a natural product that can be extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma aromatica, a chinese herb. It has been shown to have neuroprotective effects in animal studies and has been used as an adjuvant in the treatment of cervical cancer. Emodin also inhibits the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Emodin is also active against microbial infection, including bacterial infections, such as those caused by Staphylococcus aureus, and viral infections, such as influenza A virus. The main mechanism of action of emodin is its inhibition of DNA synthesis by binding to viral dna or bacterial rna polymerase. Emodin has also been found to inhibit protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes. This drug binds to urea nitrogen molecules in bacteria and disrupts their growth by inhibiting protein synthesis.

N-Acetylneuraminic acid sodium salt is present in various natural sources, including glycoproteins and glycolipids found in animal tissues. As a sialic acid, N-Acetylneuraminic acid sodium salt plays a critical role in cellular recognition processes due to its involvement in the terminal position of glycan chains. This position allows it to participate in cellular communication, influencing processes like cell adhesion and pathogen interactions.The compound is extensively utilized in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology, primarily for studies concerning cell surface glycoconjugates. Its ability to modulate interactions at the cell surface makes it invaluable for research into mechanisms of infection, immunity, and cell signaling. Additionally, N-Acetylneuraminic acid sodium salt finds applications in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of antiviral drugs where modulation of sialic acid interactions is key. The compound’s biochemical properties enable scientists to explore and elucidate complex biological phenomena, contributing to advances in therapeutic strategies and molecular pathology.

Lactose is the principal sugar in human and most other mammalian milks, ( 4-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl)-d-glucopyranose) (Collins, 2006). Lactose undergoes mutarotation; it is a reducing sugar and is significantly less soluble in water than sucrose. Lactose is much less sweet than sucrose (at ~1% about 0.15 (sucrose=1). The enzyme lactase (β-galactosidase), which is present in the small intestine, catalyzes hydrolysis of lactose to form glucose and galactose. Anhydrous lactose is an excipient, filler, diluent, and bulking agent in a wide variety of pharmaceutical tablets, capsules, powders and other preparations. Lactose also has applications as a nutrient and multi-functional ingredient in infant formulae, geriatric, dietetic and health foods (Linko, 1982).

2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-galactose, also called 3-fluoro-6-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2,4,5-triol, can be added to the medium of primary cultured rat hepatocytes to inhibit N-glycosylation of proteins. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most common antibody found in blood and 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-galactose modifies the galactosylation of the N-linked glycan in the IgG-Fc receptor.  We also have this product from a non-animal origin, MD71984.

4,6-O-Benzylidene-D-galactose is an anomer of D-galactose. It is a lectin that has been shown to inhibit the binding of amyloid beta to the cerebroside in the brain tissue. This activity may be due to its ability to form an amide bond with galactose, which is present in amyloid beta. 4,6-O-Benzylidene-D-galactose also has a coronary heart disease prevention effect and can help reduce cholesterol levels. Furthermore, it has been found to have anti-cancer properties and can help prevent the growth of cancerous cells by inhibiting protein synthesis. In addition, 4,6-O-Benzylidene-D-galactose can be used as a cationic surfactant or detergent composition for cleaning or treating surfaces.

L-Glucurono-3,6-lactone is an acetonide that is a derivative of L-glucose. L-Glucurono-3,6-lactone can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB).

Dextran is a polysaccharide that is used as an antimicrobial agent and as a volume expander in the treatment of bowel disease, myocardial infarct, and other diseases. Dextran sulfate is a linear polymer with a molecular weight of 500,000 to 1,000,000. It has minimal toxicity and does not interfere with iron homeostasis or cause fluid overload. Dextran sulfate can be used for the treatment of bowel disease because it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in experimental models. The mechanism by which dextran sulfate inhibits inflammation is unknown, but may involve its ability to bind to macrophages and neutrophils in the gut wall. Dextran sulfate also binds to bacteria and prevents their growth. This binding may prevent bacterial penetration into epithelial cells or block bacterial attachment to cell surfaces. The efficacy of dextran sulfate against pathogenic mechanisms such as inflammation has been demonstrated in experimental models.

1-deoxy-D-psicose is a deoxy sugar that can be used as a reagent for the conversion of 1-deoxy-d-fructose to d-psicose. It is useful in the synthesis of rhamnose, which is a precursor to pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 1-Deoxy-D-psicose can be used in the synthesis of l-rhamnose from d-psicose or vice versa. This process of converting one epimer to another isomerization is very efficient, with an 88% yield.
