Description

Lacto-n-Neofucopentaose I CAS NO 30517-76-1 is a structurally defined human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) and a key fucosylated carbohydrate. This compound is of significant interest for its role as a bioactive prebiotic and its function as a decoy receptor for pathogens. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the infant nutrition, pharmaceutical, and advanced research sectors seeking high-purity, well-characterized bioactive ingredients.

Application

• Infant Formula Fortification: As a premium prebiotic additive to mimic the composition and functional benefits of human milk, supporting gut health and immune development.
• Pharmaceutical Research: As a reference standard or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in the development of glycan-based therapeutics and anti-adhesion agents.
• Nutraceuticals & Functional Foods: Incorporated into adult dietary supplements and functional foods aimed at promoting a healthy gut microbiome and immune modulation.
• Microbiological Studies: Used in research to study host-pathogen interactions, bacterial adhesion mechanisms, and the role of specific glycans in infection.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Serves as a critical component in the development of assays and kits for detecting specific carbohydrate-binding proteins or pathogens.
