Monossacáridos

O-(D-glucopyranosylidene)amino N-phenylcarbamate is a synthetic monosaccharide that is used in our laboratory as an intermediate for the synthesis of complex carbohydrates. It is also used in the modification of polysaccharides and glycosylations. This compound has been shown to be stable to hydrolysis, methylation, and oxidation. O-(D-glucopyranosylidene)amino N-phenylcarbamate has been shown to be a high purity product with a CAS number of 104012-84-2.

2-C-Methyl- D- xylonic acid g- lactone is a monosaccharide that can be used in the synthesis of oligosaccharides and complex carbohydrates. This compound is a fluorinated carbohydrate, which has been modified to include a methyl group at the C2 position. The chemical name for this compound is 2-C-Methyl-D-xylonic acid g-lactone and it has CAS No. 4983-92-1. This compound can be synthesized as a custom order and its purity exceeds 99%. Its synthesis can involve glycosylation or methylation, depending on the desired product.

Component of peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls. Peptidoglycan is a mesh-like polymer, made of a glycan backbone containing alternating subunits of N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N‐acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc). An enzyme substrate that is used to characterize and differentiate MurNAc and GlcNAc kinases.

3-O-benzyl-diacetonide-d-glucose is a synthetic monosaccharide that can be used as a building block for oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. It is custom synthesized to meet your specific needs and can be modified with fluorination, methylation, or glycosylation. 3-O-benzyl-diacetonide-d-glucose has been shown to have high purity and is available in small quantities for custom synthesis.

Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, occurs widely in plants, such as, the fruits of the Sorbus and Crataegus spp.  Commercially it is produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of glucose (Collins, 2006).  Sorbitol is approved as a sugar substitute with the E number 420 and has ‘generally recognized as safe’ status (GRAS) from the US Food and Drug Administration. It is about 60% as sweet as sucrose and is a mild laxative.  Sorbitol has a wide range of other functional properties, including: humectancy, plasticizing ability, non-cariogenicity, and good chemical stability in harsh conditions, such as, alkaline pH and heat. Toothpaste production is the second largest application of sorbitol, accounting for 50,000 tons a year in Western Europe alone.  Other important uses of sorbitol as a humectant, include: formulation of cough syrups, multivitamin preparations, emulsions, and suspensions (O’Neil, 2013).

Potent and specific inhibitor of α-mannosidase I. It is active against the Golgi isoform (GMI) of the enzyme and blocks carbohydrate branch elongation from immature to complex and hybrid N-glycans. Its anti-viral activity against HIV-1 is characterized by the alteration of N-glycan pattern and shift to high-mannose glycans on viral glycoprotein gp120, resulting in decreased infectivity of newly synthesized virions.

2,3,5-Tri-O-benzyl-b-D-ribofuranose is a synthetic monosaccharide that is used in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates such as glycosylation and polysaccharides. One use for this chemical is to modify the sugar moiety with methyl groups, yielding 2,3,5-tri-O-methyl b-D-ribofuranose. This modification helps prevent the sugar from being metabolized by enzymes in the body. The chemical can also be fluorinated to yield 2,3,5-trifluoro b-D-ribofuranose.

Phenyl-beta-D-thioglucuronic acid is a drug that is used to treat inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases. It is a basic structure that has been shown to have anti-estrogenic effects in vitro, although the mechanism of action is not well understood. Phenyl-beta-D-thioglucuronic acid can be crosslinked with proteins to form a matrix for wound healing. This drug has also been shown to be a potent inhibitor of proteases, and may inhibit other enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinases and serine proteases.

Leucine-​derived gamma-hydroxynitrile glucoside

Building block for polymers synthesis, ionic liquids and chiral auxiliaries

Glucal is a carbohydrate that is used as a synthon in organic synthesis. It has been shown to be anomeric and can be synthesized by acetylation of the corresponding aldose, or by the glycosidic bond reaction with borohydride reduction. Glucal is not stable at high pH and can undergo ring-opening reactions with nucleophiles such as sodium borohydride. Glucal also reacts with glycoconjugates to form new molecules, which are called glycosidic products.

Isosorbide dinitrate is used to treat chronic bronchitis and congestive heart failure. It dilates blood vessels, allowing more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart. Isosorbide dinitrate is also used to relieve chest pain (angina) and reduce complications after a heart attack. Isosorbide dinitrate is a prodrug that is converted in vivo to its active form, isosorbide mononitrate, by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase in response to hypoxia. In addition, it has been shown that this drug reduces levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and may be useful for the treatment of high cholesterol.
The mechanism of action for reducing LDL-C levels is not known but may be due to increased clearance of LDL-C from plasma or decreased production of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). This medication does not affect triglycerides or high density lip
