Description

Methyl β-D-Cellobioside Heptaacetate is a highly acetylated derivative of the disaccharide cellobiose, serving as a crucial protected intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry. This compound matters for its role in the precise synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, where it provides a stable, non-reactive scaffold for selective deprotection and further functionalization. It is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in glycoscience, drug discovery, and the development of novel biomaterials.

Application

• Glycoscience Research: A key protected building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycans.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used as a standard or intermediate in the research of glycosidase inhibitors, antiviral agents, and other carbohydrate-based therapeutics.
• Biomaterial Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating functionalized polysaccharide analogs and biocompatible polymers.
• Analytical Standard: Employed as a high-purity reference standard in chromatographic (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic (NMR, MS) analysis for method development and validation.
• Enzyme Substrate Studies: Utilized in biochemical assays to study the activity and specificity of cellulases, glycosidases, and other carbohydrate-active enzymes.

Quality Control

Our Methyl β-D-Cellobioside Heptaacetate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment.

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 compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
