Description

Methyl 2,3,6,2,3,4,6-Hepta-o-Acetyl-β-D-Maltopyranoside is a highly functionalized carbohydrate derivative, specifically a fully acetylated methyl maltoside, serving as a critical protected intermediate in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Its value lies in providing a stable, reactive scaffold for the precise construction of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, where control over stereochemistry and regiochemistry is paramount. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, particularly for creating novel glycan-based therapeutics, diagnostic probes, and vaccine components.

Application

• Glycochemistry Research: A key protected building block for the stepwise, chemoselective synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycans.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the development of carbohydrate-based drugs, including antiviral agents, anti-inflammatory compounds, and targeted delivery systems.
• Glycoconjugate Vaccine Development: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing antigenic carbohydrate moieties that are conjugated to carrier proteins.
• Enzyme Substrate Studies: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor in studies of glycosidases and glycosyltransferases to understand enzyme mechanisms.
• Biochemical Tool Development: Utilized to create labeled glycans (e.g., fluorescent or biotinylated) for cell biology and diagnostic assay development.
• Material Science: Potential monomer for creating novel biodegradable polymers or surface coatings with specific carbohydrate functionalities.

Quality Control

Our Methyl 2,3,6,2,3,4,6-Hepta-o-Acetyl-β-D-Maltopyranoside is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity suitable for research and synthesis. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR and HPLC to confirm identity, purity, and the integrity of the acetyl protecting groups. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent hydrolysis of the acetyl groups. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator.
