Monosaccaridi

D-Glucuronic acid (GlcA) is D-glucose with position six oxidised to a carboxyl group (Collins, 2006). It is a common component of a number of gums and mucilages structurally related to pectins, where it is can be present as a terminal non reducing end residue (Renard, 1999). Glucuronic acid is also found in bacterial polysaccharides, such as, xanthan gum produced by Xanthomonas campestris (Faria, 2011), and in glycosaminoglycans, such as, heparan sulfate (Casale, 2020).

N-2,4-Dinitrophenyl-deoxynojirimycin (DNPDNJ) is a methylated derivative of deoxynojirimycin. It is an inhibitor of glycosylation that can be used to study the structure and function of carbohydrates. DNPDNJ is a synthetic saccharide that can be custom synthesized. Click modification and modification with Oligosaccharides are common modifications for DNPDNJ. DNPDNJ is available in high purity and has been fluorinated for use in fluorescence studies.

Calcium-D-arabonate is a fatty acid that is used as a functional ingredient in the food industry. It has been shown to increase the rate of reactions, such as glycosidic bond cleavage and polymerization, by acting as an oxidation catalyst. This product also has a high molecular weight and can be used to modify the structure of polymers. Calcium-D-arabonate is often used in model systems because it reacts with other substances at a pH optimum of 6.0-7.5.

Methyl 2-deoxy-D-ribofuranoside is a methylglucoside that is synthesized by the reaction of thiourea with chloroacetic acid. The anomers of this compound are atypical and the product can be obtained in high yield (70%) by the use of chromatographic purification. This chemical has been used to produce a variety of compounds including carbamates, chloroacetamides, sulfonamides and others. Methyl 2-deoxy-D-ribofuranoside is also an intermediate for asymmetric synthesis. It can act as a catalyst for reactions involving alkali metals and nucleophiles such as chloride, hydantoin and dimethylformamide. The structure of this molecule has been determined by nmr spectroscopy and its 1H NMR spectrum is consistent with that predicted from its molecular formula.

Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, specifically a galactolipid. MGDG is synthesized by plants and plays an important role in plant physiology. MGDG is involved in the regulation of transcription and translation and also has anti-cancer properties. It has been shown that MGDG can inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells such as MDA-MB-231 cells through its interactions with miR-205, a microRNA that regulates cellular growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. The biochemical properties of MGDG are similar to those of diacylglycerol (DAG), which is also involved in transcriptional regulation. It has also been shown that MGDG inhibits the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells when exposed to high salt concentrations.

Allyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-L-glucopyranoside is a modification of the carbohydrate allyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-D-glucopyranoside. This modification can be synthesized from benzyl alcohol and sodium hydroxide in the presence of sodium borohydride. Allyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-L-glucopyranoside is a monosaccharide with a CAS number of 159430-38-3. It is an important component of many polysaccharides and glycosides. This compound has been fluorinated to produce allyl 4,6-(difluoroacetoxy)-L glucopyranoside (CAS No. 160105).
Allyl 4,6 - O - benzyldene - L - glucopyranoside has high purity and is available for custom

a-D-Galactopyranosyl phenylisothiocyanate is a compound that is used in the synthesis of saccharides and oligosaccharides. It reacts with a variety of sugars, including glucose, sucrose, maltose and lactose, to produce methylated derivatives. This reagent is also useful for the synthesis of glycosides. The product can be used in custom synthesis or as a fluorinated carbohydrate.

1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-L-rhamnopyranose is an acetylated disaccharide that is glycosylated with mercuric triflate and glycoalkaloid acceptors. It has been shown to be a glycosylation coupling agent for theophylline in solanum species. 1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-L-rhamnopyranose can also act as a steroidal glycoalkaloid acceptor and has been identified in Solanum species.
