Description

β-L-Arabinofuranose (9Ci) is a specialized monosaccharide derivative, a key building block in carbohydrate chemistry and glycobiology research. Its defined stereochemistry and furanose ring structure make it an essential chiral precursor for synthesizing complex oligosaccharides, nucleoside analogs, and other bioactive molecules. This high-purity compound is critical for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors developing novel therapeutics, diagnostic tools, and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial chiral synthon for the synthesis of nucleoside-based antiviral and anticancer drugs.
• Glycobiology Research: Used as a standard and building block for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, enzyme mechanisms, and cell signaling pathways.
• Oligosaccharide Synthesis: A fundamental starting material in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex arabinose-containing oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: Employed in creating labeled sugars and probes for imaging, diagnostics, and targeted drug delivery systems.
• Fine Chemical Production: Acts as a precursor for specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific sugar motifs.
• Standards & Calibration: Provides a high-purity reference standard for analytical methods like HPLC, GC, and NMR in quality control laboratories.
