Description

2-Thiokojibiose is a specialized thioglycoside derivative of kojibiose, a disaccharide. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and pharmaceutical research due to its unique sulfur-containing glycosidic linkage, which confers distinct chemical and biological properties compared to its oxygenated counterpart. It serves as a valuable intermediate and reference standard for researchers in glycoscience, enzymology, and drug discovery. The product is supplied under the CAS registry number 158213-24-2.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in studies of glycosidase and glycosyltransferase enzymes to understand carbohydrate metabolism and processing.
• Glycobiology Studies: Acts as a key building block or probe for investigating sulfur-glycoside interactions, cell surface recognition, and carbohydrate-protein binding events.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents, including glycomimetics and antiviral compounds.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity standard for method development and quality control in analytical laboratories using techniques like HPLC and LC-MS.
• Enzyme Mechanism Elucidation: Utilized to study the catalytic mechanisms of enzymes that act on glycosidic bonds, particularly those sensitive to sulfur substitution.
• Nutritional Science Research: Investigated for its potential metabolic pathways and effects, given its structural relation to other bioactive disaccharides.

Quality Control

Our 2-Thiokojibiose is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR) and purity assessment by HPLC. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for identity, assay, and impurities is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when opening to prevent oxidation and moisture uptake. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
