Product Information

• Name: 6-O-Acetyl-D-glucose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-O-Acetyl-D-glucose is a natural sugar that is found in Holothuria, a sea cucumber. It has been shown to have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. 6-O-Acetyl-D-glucose inhibits the production of extracellular Ca2+ and has shown therapeutic effects against colorectal carcinoma. This active substance also exhibits allergenic reactions, which may be due to its ability to bind to IgE antibodies on mast cells and basophils. 6-O-Acetyl-D-glucose is a glycoside that contains an acetate group linked by an O atom to the hydroxyl residue of glucose. The glycosidic bond can be hydrolyzed with the enzyme β glucosidase, releasing the aglycone (sugar) and β glucosidase.
