Description

2-Deoxy-β-D-Glucopyranose is a deoxy sugar derivative of glucose, where a hydroxyl group is replaced by a hydrogen atom at the C-2 position. This structural modification makes it a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis and biochemical research. It is primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science industries for applications ranging from glycosylation studies to the development of novel therapeutics and diagnostic agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key starting material for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs, antiviral drugs, and other bioactive molecules.
• Biochemical Research: Used in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and as a substrate or inhibitor for glycosidases and other carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
• Glycochemistry & Glycobiology: Serves as a fundamental building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and glycomimetics.
• Standards & Reference Materials: Employed as an analytical standard in chromatography (HPLC, GC) and mass spectrometry for quality control and research quantification.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Investigated for use in advanced skincare formulations due to its potential role in skin cell metabolism and hydration.

Quality Control

Our 2-Deoxy-β-D-Glucopyranose is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide material suitable for research and commercial synthesis, with typical purity grades meeting or exceeding 98% (HPLC). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available for every batch. Specifications can be aligned with customer-specific requirements for advanced applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
