Methyl 2,3-di-O-acetyl-4,6-O-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-a-D-mannopyranoside is a custom synthesis that contains a fluorinated sugar with a methyl group attached to the 4 position. The oligosaccharide is synthesized through click chemistry and has been modified with an acetate at the 6 position. The CAS number is 108739-53-0. The carbohydrate is a complex carbohydrate that can be found in nature or synthesized in the laboratory.

3-Deoxy-D-fructose is a neutral sugar that is found in the human liver and has been shown to be metabolized by cells in the target tissue. 3-Deoxy-D-fructose is used as a marker for diabetic patients, as it is present in high quantities in their blood plasma. 3-Deoxy-D-fructose can be detected with liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC/MS) methods. It has been shown to induce necrotic cell death, which may be due to its ability to produce reactive oxygen species. 3-Deoxy-D-fructose also inhibits protein synthesis by inhibiting the activity of polymerase chain reaction and hydroxylation reactions.

Competitive inhibitor of glucosylceramidase (GlcCer), which catalyses the first step in glycosphingolipid (GSL) synthesis. This compound is a promising candidate for substrate reduction therapy in Sandhoff disease, where it decreases the rate of GSL biosynthesis and counterbalances the impaired rate of ganglioside catabolism.

Methyl a-D-thiomannopyranoside is a synthetic, fluorinated carbohydrate. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates that contain saccharide and oligosaccharide moieties. Methyl a-D-thiomannopyranoside can be modified by glycosylation or methylation reactions to produce desired products.

L-Gulono-gamma-lactone is a natural vitamin C metabolite that is synthesized from L-ascorbic acid in the liver. It has been shown to inhibit the oxidase and other enzymes involved in ascorbic acid metabolism, which may be due to its ability to bind to iron. L-Gulono-gamma-lactone also inhibits polymerase chain reactions in rat liver microsomes and inhibits the activities of ascorbic acid and glutathione reductase in rat hepatic tissues. This compound is not active against humans, but it has been shown to have antioxidation properties.

1,3,5-Tri-O-benzoyl-a-L-ribofuranose is a synthetic sugar with a complex carbohydrate structure. It is synthesized by the sequential addition of benzoyl groups to the alditol acetal of ribose. The molecular weight of this compound is 598.6 g/mol and its CAS number is 171866-30-1. 1,3,5-Tri-O-benzoyl-a-L-ribofuranose has been shown to be an excellent substrate for glycosylation and methylation reactions due to the presence of three reactive hydroxyl groups that can react with nucleophiles such as amines or thiols. Methylation reactions are typically carried out in the presence of sodium methoxide in methanol at room temperature for several hours. Glycosylation reactions require the use of activated glycosyl donors such as UDP glucose, UDP galactose

3,4-O-Isopropylidene-L-arabinose (3,4-OIRA) is an isopropylidene derivative of L-arabinose. 3,4-OIRA has been shown to be a substrate for glycosylation reactions with various other sugars. It can also undergo methylation reactions and has been modified by fluorination. 3,4-OIRA is a food additive that belongs to the category of complex carbohydrates.
