Description

n-Octanoyl-β-D-Glucosylamine is a chemically synthesized derivative of glucose, where the anomeric hydroxyl group is replaced by an octanoyl amine moiety. This modification imparts unique amphiphilic properties, making it a valuable intermediate for the development of novel surfactants, emulsifiers, and bioactive conjugates. It is particularly sought after by researchers and product developers in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries for creating advanced functional materials with enhanced biocompatibility and targeted delivery capabilities.

Application

• Bioconjugate Chemistry: Acts as a key building block for synthesizing glycoconjugates and glycolipid mimetics for drug delivery systems.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used in the formulation of mild, sugar-based surfactants and emulsifiers for skin-friendly cleansers, moisturizers, and creams.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a precursor for prodrugs or as a linker to improve the solubility and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies related to glycosidase and glycosyltransferase activity.
• Material Science: Utilized to create functionalized surfaces or polymers with specific carbohydrate recognition properties.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Can be used in the development of biosensors or assay components that target carbohydrate-binding proteins.

Quality Control

Our n-Octanoyl-β-D-Glucosylamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR). We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all relevant specifications to ensure it meets your research and development requirements.

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 tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
