Monosaccharides

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.

Inhibitor of lysosomal acid β-glucosidase (GlcCerase/glucocerebrosidase) with IC50 in nanomolar range for wildtype and mutant enzyme. It behaves as pharmacological chaperon by binding to instable GlcCerase active site at neutral pH values and facilitating the protein folding. In acidic lysosomes, isofagomine gets release from the enzyme active site. This results in increased levels of functional glucocerebrosidase and brings therapeutic benefits to patients with Gaucher disease.

L-Mannonic acid-1,4-lactone is an acidic compound that has kinetic properties. It is used in the assays of chloride ions and neutral pH. L-Mannonic acid-1,4-lactone also has conjugates with hydrolytic activity and can be used as a synthetic intermediate for other organic compounds. L-Mannonic acid-1,4-lactone can be found in group P2 of the periodic table because it contains a hydroxyl group and an organic group with a methyl ethyl side chain. L-Mannonic acid-1,4-lactone hydrolyzes at high temperatures and may exhibit synergistic effects when combined with other agents. This product is also used to incubate cells such as k562 cells.

Phenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-thioglucopyranoside (PTATG) is a synthetic sugar that is used as a building block in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates. It can be fluorinated to form phenyl 2,3,4,6-tetrafluoro-β-D-thioglucopyranoside (PTFFTG). PTATG and PTFFTG are potential anticancer drugs.

6-O-Methyl-D-glucose is a non-carbohydrate that can be found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is an electron microscopic study of proton and fatty acid molecules, which has shown that the cell membrane of mycobacterial cells are susceptible to inhibition by fatty acids. 6-O-Methyl-D-glucose is a nucleophilic attack on cellular fatty acids, which may inhibit their synthesis and lead to cell death. 6-O-Methyl-D-glucose has been shown to be synthesized from glucose and glycosylated with hydroxyl groups during biosynthesis. This chemical is also used in the synthesis of oligosaccharides because it has a molecular weight of 180, making it more easily scalable than other carbohydrates.
