Globotriaosylsphingosine is dramatically increased in plasma of classically affected male Fabry patients and plasma and tissues of Fabry mice. Globotriaosylsphingosine was shown to be an inhibitor of α-galactosidase A activity. Furthermore, exposure of smooth muscle cells, but not fibroblasts, to globotriaosylsphingosine at concentrations observed in plasma of patients promotes proliferation. It was suggested that measurement of circulating globotriaosylsphingosine would be useful to monitor Fabry disease and may contribute to a better understanding of the disorder.

Methyl 2-azido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-bD mannoside is a custom synthesis that can be modified to suit the needs of the customer. It is an oligosaccharide and polysaccharide that has been modified with methylation and glycosylation. This product has CAS No. 97604-59-6 and is available for purchase in high purity with a purity level of at least 95%. Methyl 2-azido-3,4,6-triO acetyl -2 deoxy b D mannoside has been fluorinated to create a synthetic sugar.

Octanoyl b-D-glucosylamine is a synthetic compound that has been designed for use in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates. It is an octanoyl derivative of D-glucosamine, which is a sugar. This compound can be used for the modification of saccharides and polysaccharides, as well as sugars. It has been shown to be resistant to glycosylation and fluorination reactions.

Kappa-Carrageenan is a gelling sulphated galactan extracted from red seaweed (typically Mastocarpus stellata and Chondrus crispus). The structure of all carrageenans consists of a strictly alternating masked repeating unit of 1,3-linked α-D-galactose and 1,4-linked β-D-galactose. The α-linked galactose occurs as α-3-6-anhydro unit and the β-linked sugar occurs as the 4-sulphate.

D-Gluconic acid potassium salt is a glycol ether with biochemical properties that can be used to synthesize covalent linkages. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties in wild-type strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. D-Gluconic acid potassium salt has been shown to exhibit inhibitory effects on the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein, as well as enzyme activities. The matrix effect is an analytical method that measures the inhibition of bacterial growth in agar plates. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a technique that measures changes in electrical resistance when bacteria are placed on an electrode surface. This technique has been used to show that D-gluconic acid potassium salt exhibits inhibitory effects against group P2 enzymes, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is used for DNA replication and amplification.

Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide of β 1-4 linked glucose residues. The polysaccharide chains are bundled as microfibrils in cell walls and provide the essential structural components within growing plants. Each microfibril exhibits a high degree of three-dimensional internal bonding resulting in a crystalline structure that is insoluble in water, resistant to reagents and very strong. The crystalline region of cellulose is isolated to produce microcrystalline cellulose. Microcrystalline cellulose is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production.

Danaparoid sodium (the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Orgaran; Merck Sharp and Dohme) is a biopolymeric non-heparin drug that is used as anticoagulant and antithrombotic agent, approved for the prophylaxis of postoperative deep-vein thrombosis.  It consists of a mixture of three glycosaminoglycans: heparan sulphate, dermatan sulphate, and chondroitin sulphate.  Danaparoid, has well established antithrombotic activity. The drug has a high antifactor Xa to antifactor IIa (thrombin) activity ratio, a low tendency to cause bleeding and minimal effects on the fibrinolytic system.

3-Acetamido-3,6-dideoxy-D-galactose is a monosaccharide with two functional groups. It has been shown to be bifunctional and can act as a glycosyl donor or acceptor. 3-Acetamido-3,6-dideoxy-D-galactose was isolated from the type strain of Streptomyces venezuelae. It is also found in fatty acids and some strains of bacteria, such as Bacillus megaterium. The biological properties of 3-acetamido--3,6-dideoxy--D--galactose have been studied using monoclonal antibodies, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).

1,4:3,6-Dianhydro-L-iditol is a synthetic compound that is used in pharmaceutical preparations and tissue culture. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro assays. The synthesis of 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-L-iditol involves intramolecular hydrogenation of fatty acids with alkanoic acids and the use of solid catalysts.
