Description

Methyl-2-o-Fucopyranosylfucopyranoside 4-Sulfate is a specialized sulfated fucose derivative, a key building block in glycobiology research and carbohydrate chemistry. This compound is valued for its role in studying sulfated glycan structures, enzyme interactions, and carbohydrate-based signaling pathways. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and biotechnology companies focused on glycoconjugate synthesis, anti-inflammatory agent development, and marine carbohydrate analysis.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: As a critical standard and intermediate for synthesizing complex sulfated oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Enzyme Substrate Studies: Used to investigate the activity and specificity of sulfatases, glycosyltransferases, and other carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Serves as a precursor or model compound in the development of carbohydrate-based therapeutics, particularly for anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant applications.
• Marine Bioactive Compound Analysis: Employed in the study of sulfated polysaccharides (e.g., fucoidans) derived from brown algae and other marine sources.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Used in the formulation of assay kits and reagents for detecting specific carbohydrate-protein interactions.
• Academic Research: A valuable tool for universities and research institutes studying cell surface recognition, host-pathogen interactions, and carbohydrate immunology.

Quality Control

Our Methyl-2-o-Fucopyranosylfucopyranoside 4-Sulfate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and MS for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
