Description

2-Pentulose, 1,5-Dideoxy-4-o-Methyl- (9Ci) is a specialized monosaccharide derivative, a key building block in synthetic organic chemistry. Its modified deoxy and methylated structure makes it a valuable chiral intermediate for the synthesis of complex bioactive molecules. This compound is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical development companies engaged in carbohydrate chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and the development of novel therapeutic agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in nucleoside and carbohydrate-based drug discovery.
• Medicinal Chemistry Research: Used as a building block for creating libraries of novel compounds to explore structure-activity relationships (SAR) and identify new drug candidates.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway investigations as a substrate or inhibitor analog due to its modified sugar structure.
• Glycochemistry & Glycobiology: Acts as a precursor for the synthesis of more complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and glycomimetics for biological evaluation.
• Process Development: Used in scaling up synthetic routes for potential pharmaceutical candidates, requiring high-purity, reliable supply.

Quality Control

Our 2-Pentulose, 1,5-Dideoxy-4-o-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, critical for research and development applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with relevant research and development standards, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and purity.
