Description

4-Methylphenyl 2,3,6,2',3',4',6'-Hepta-o-Acetyl-1-Thio-β-D-Maltopyranoside, Min. 98% is a high-purity, fully acetylated thioglycoside derivative of maltose, serving as a critical synthetic intermediate and building block in advanced carbohydrate chemistry. Its primary value lies in its role as a glycosyl donor or acceptor for the controlled synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, where the acetyl protecting groups and thio linkage offer superior stability and reactivity control. This compound is essential for researchers and process developers in pharmaceutical development, particularly for creating novel glycomimetics, and in biochemical research for probing glycosylation mechanisms and enzyme interactions.

Application

• Glycochemistry & Oligosaccharide Synthesis: Acts as a key glycosyl donor or acceptor for the stepwise construction of complex, biologically relevant carbohydrate structures.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of glycan-based therapeutics, including vaccine adjuvants, anti-adhesion drugs, and diagnostic agents.
• Biochemical Probe Development: Serves as a substrate or inhibitor for studying glycosidase and glycosyltransferase enzymes, aiding in enzyme mechanism elucidation and drug discovery.
• Glycoconjugate Preparation: Facilitates the synthesis of neoglycoconjugates for applications in immunology, cell biology, and material surface functionalization.
• Standards and Reference Materials: Provides a high-purity standard for analytical method development and quality control in carbohydrate analysis.

Quality Control

Our production of this advanced synthetic intermediate adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research and development. Every lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR for structural confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain product integrity and prevent hydrolysis of the acetyl groups.
