Description

Uridine 5'-Diphosphate, Periodate Oxidized Sodium Salt is a chemically modified nucleotide derivative where the ribose sugar moiety has been selectively oxidized by periodate. This modification is critical for its role as a key biochemical reagent and synthetic intermediate. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries for enzymatic studies, carbohydrate chemistry, and the synthesis of nucleotide-based probes and therapeutics.

Application

• Enzymatic Research & Assay Development: Serves as a substrate or inhibitor in studies of glycosyltransferases and other nucleotide-dependent enzymes.
• Carbohydrate & Glycoconjugate Synthesis: Acts as a pivotal activated intermediate in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoproteins.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of novel nucleotide-based drugs, including antiviral and anticancer agents.
• Biochemical Probe Development: Employed to create affinity labels, photoaffinity probes, or fluorescently tagged nucleotides for mechanistic and diagnostic studies.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Useful as a tool compound to investigate nucleotide sugar metabolism and related cellular processes.
