Product Information

• Name: 2-Methyl-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-dideoxy-a-D-glucopyrano)-[2,1-d]-2-oxazoline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methyl-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-dideoxy-a-D-glucopyrano)-[2,1-d]-2-oxazoline (TAO) is a molecule that is produced during the glycosylation of proteins. TAO has been shown to enhance chemotherapy by targeting and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. TAO binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is a protein that regulates cell proliferation. TAO inhibits cancer cell growth by blocking the activation of EGFR and its downstream signaling pathways. This inhibition leads to tumor regression in xenografts in mice. TAO also blocks o-glycosylation, which is a process that enhances cancer therapy resistance.
