Product Information

• Name: N,N',N'',N''',N''''-Pentaacetyl chitopentaose
• Synonyms: Penta-N-acetylchitopentaose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chitopentaose is a pentaacetyl derivative of the sugar chitohexaose. It is an oligosaccharide that has been shown to inhibit the activity of glycosidases and lectins, which may be due to its high affinity to these enzymes. Chitopentaose has also been found to bind to insulin receptors in the human tumor cell line A-20, leading to a reduction in tumor growth. The molecule also inhibits the transcriptional regulation of genes encoding for penicillin-binding protein, mouse tumor necrosis factor, and α1-acid glycoprotein.
