Trehalose-6,6'-dibehenate (TDB) is a novel synthetic lipid that has been shown to have beneficial effects in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. This compound may act as an anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated signaling and TLR4-dependent production of proinflammatory cytokines. TDB also inhibits HIV infection by interfering with CD4+ T cell function and decreasing the number of CD4+ cells in the gut. In addition, TDB has been shown to be effective against lps-induced inflammatory response in cell culture.

1,4-β-D-Xylobiitol is a monosaccharide that is synthesized by the glycosylation of β-D-xylose. It is an important component of complex carbohydrates found in plants and animals. Xylobiitol can be modified with methylation or Click chemistry to produce 1,4-β-D-xylopyranosiduronic acid and 1,4-β-D-xylopyranuronic acid respectively. In addition, it can be fluorinated to create 1,4-β-D-fluoroxylobiitol and modified with saccharide or oligosaccharides to produce 1,4-[α]-,1,3-[α]- or 1,3-[β]-linked xylobiitols. Xylobiitol can also be modified with polysaccharides to form xylanolybioside conjugates in which GlcUA residues are linked

This compound is a glycosylation product of 4-methoxyphenol, 4-O-[2-O-acetyl-3,4-di-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-aD-mannopyranosyl)-6-O-benzyl -bD -mannopyrannoside]-, 3,6 -di -O -acetyl-. It has been custom synthesized for your order. This product is offered at high purity and with low background fluorescence.

Lactose is the principal sugar in human and most other mammalian milks, ( 4-O-(beta-d-galactopyranosyl)-d-glucopyranose). 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 (beta-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.

Chitinases are enzymes that hydrolyze chitin, a polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of insects, fungi and other invertebrates. Chitohexaose is a sugar that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It is a carbohydrate with six acetyl groups attached to it. When this sugar reacts with ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) in an acidic environment, it produces N,N',N'',N''',N'''',N''''',N''''''-heptaacetylchitoheptaose. This reaction system can be used as a chitinase preparation for investigating the biological effects of chitohexaose. The magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to study the reaction system and revealed that the product is a hexamer with six acetyl groups on each monomer.
