Description

N',N'',N''',N''''-Pentaacetylchitopentaose CAS NO 36467-68-2 is a defined, high-purity oligosaccharide derivative of chitin, specifically a pentamer with five N-acetylglucosamine units, each fully acetylated. This compound serves as a critical biochemical tool and a valuable intermediate for advanced research and development. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the fields of glycobiology, immunology, and pharmaceutical development for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, enzyme mechanisms, and as a precursor for synthesizing more complex glycoconjugates.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a well-defined substrate or ligand for studying chitinases, lysozymes, and other carbohydrate-active enzymes.
• Immunology Studies: Investigation of innate immune responses, particularly in relation to chitin recognition receptors and signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serving as a key building block for the synthesis of novel glycoconjugate vaccines, drug delivery systems, or bioactive compounds.
• Glycoarray Development: Used in the fabrication of carbohydrate microarrays for high-throughput screening of protein binding specificities.
• Standards and Calibrants: Acting as a high-purity reference standard for analytical methods like HPLC, MS, or NMR in quality control and method validation.
• Plant Science & Agriculture: Research into chitin oligomer-induced defense responses in plants for potential biostimulant applications.
