Description

1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-α-D-mannopyranose is an acetylated sugar which is used as an intermediate in the mannosylation of glycoproteins or glycoconjugates. It can be used in the production of mannosylated glycoconjugate vaccines or lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) which have been investigated for improving antigen up-take mediated, via the mannose receptor (MR) of human antigen presenting cells (APCs).  1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-a-D-mannopyranose, also known as α-D-Mannose pentaacetate, has also been used in the study of isolated rat pancreatic islets where it stimulates insulin release.
