Description

Methylglucopyranosiduronic Acid is a key uronic acid derivative, specifically the methyl glycoside of glucuronic acid. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and reference standard in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates, glycoconjugates, and for biochemical research. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical sectors, where precise glycosylation and metabolic pathway studies are critical.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of glycosylated drugs, prodrugs, and targeted therapeutic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a crucial substrate or standard in enzymatic studies, particularly those involving glucuronidation pathways and carbohydrate metabolism.
• Reference Standard: Employed in analytical laboratories for method development, calibration, and quality control of related compounds in HPLC, LC-MS, or NMR analysis.
• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: A building block for creating complex oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids for diagnostic and research applications.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated for use in the development of specialized nutritional supplements and functional food ingredients.
• Cosmetic Science: Potential application in the research and formulation of advanced skincare actives targeting skin glycobiology.

Quality Control

Our Methylglucopyranosiduronic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment. We can supply material compliant with various pharmacopeial standards upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials.
