Description

Lacto-n-Neohexaose CAS NO 36824-93-8 is a complex, high-purity human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) analog, a key structural component in advanced glycobiology research and development. This compound is critical for studying and mimicking the bioactive functions of natural human milk glycans, which are essential for infant gut health and immune system development. It serves as a vital building block and reference standard for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and infant formula industries, enabling the creation of next-generation functional ingredients and therapeutic agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a reference standard and precursor for synthesizing glycoconjugates, glycan arrays, and novel drug candidates targeting lectin-mediated pathways.
• Infant Nutrition Science: A key structural analog for studying the prebiotic and anti-pathogenic effects of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) to develop advanced infant formula.
• Glycobiology & Biochemistry: Essential substrate for enzymatic studies, receptor-ligand interaction assays, and investigating cell-cell communication and signaling processes.
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Used in the development of high-specificity diagnostic kits and biosensors for detecting pathogens or biomarkers based on glycan recognition.
• Functional Food & Nutraceuticals: Serves as a high-value intermediate for creating specialized prebiotic and immune-modulating dietary supplements.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Investigated for potential use in skincare formulations for its bioactive properties related to cell surface modulation and hydration.
