Description

β-D-Xylopyranose (9Ci) is a fundamental monosaccharide and a key building block in carbohydrate chemistry. This compound is essential for research and development in the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and other biologically active molecules. It serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard for scientists in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and nutraceutical industries.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity standard for analytical methods (HPLC, GC-MS) and enzymatic studies.
• Glycochemistry & Glycobiology: A vital starting material for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of xylose-containing oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in the research of prodrugs, drug delivery systems, and as a chiral pool synthon for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Food & Nutraceutical Science: Investigated for its role as a prebiotic fiber (xylooligosaccharides - XOS) and in studying dietary carbohydrate metabolism.
• Enzymology & Microbiology: Serves as a substrate for studying xylose isomerase, xylosidases, and metabolic pathways in microorganisms.
• Material Science: Explored as a renewable feedstock for the production of furfural, xylitol, and other bio-based chemicals.
