• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Benzyl 2-azido-2-deoxy-a-D-galactopyranoside (α-OBn GalN3) is a compound based on the structural features of α-OBn GalNAc. It features an azide functionality at C2 instead of the N-acetyl. α-OBn GalN3 inhibits glycosyltransferases responsible for O-GalNAc-type glycosylation and induces apoptosis in PC/AA/C1/SB10C and HCA7/C29 cells. The compound was tested at 0.5 mM for 4 days with different colorectal cell lines and showed an inhibition of cell growth. α-OBn GalN3 was also used as an intermediate for the total synthesis of (+)-Neocarzinostatin chromophore.
