Description

Phenyl b-D-thiogalactopyranoside is a carbohydrate binding agent that has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. It binds to galectin, a carbohydrate receptor on the surface of tumour cells, thereby interfering with cell proliferation and tumor growth. Phenyl b-D-thiogalactopyranoside also blocks the activity of glycolytic enzymes and can be used as an adjuvant in cancer therapy. This molecule is synthesized by nature or chemically by means of alkylation of phenol. The chemical synthesis is more efficient and economical than the natural process.
