Description

D-Apio-α-D-Furanose CAS NO 30738-01-3 is a specialized monosaccharide derivative, a key building block in carbohydrate chemistry. This high-purity compound is essential for research and development in the synthesis of complex natural products and novel glycosides. It serves as a critical intermediate for pharmaceutical chemists, synthetic biologists, and researchers in the flavor and fragrance industries seeking to develop or analyze apiosyl-containing molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel glycosylated drug candidates and prodrugs, particularly in cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory research.
• Glycobiology Research: Serves as a precise biochemical tool for studying enzyme specificity, glycosylation pathways, and carbohydrate-protein interactions.
• Flavor & Fragrance Synthesis: Acts as a key precursor for creating specific sweeteners or aroma compounds where the apiosyl moiety is required for sensory activity.
• Standards & Reference Materials: Provides a high-purity standard for analytical methods (HPLC, GC-MS, NMR) used in quality control of herbal extracts and natural products containing apiose.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the development of labeled probes or inhibitors to study biological processes involving carbohydrate metabolism.
