Description

1-Thio-β-D-Galactopyranose Sodium Salt is a chemically modified carbohydrate derivative where a sulfur atom replaces the oxygen in the glycosidic bond. This compound is a crucial thioglycoside intermediate, valued for its role in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and biochemical research. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic reagent sectors for the synthesis of glycoconjugates, enzyme substrates, and novel therapeutic agents.

Application

• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: A key building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, and glycolipids.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in studies of glycosidase and glycosyltransferase enzymes to understand carbohydrate metabolism.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a precursor in the development of novel drug candidates, including antiviral and anticancer agents that target carbohydrate-protein interactions.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the formulation of specialized reagents for diagnostic kits, particularly in assays detecting specific carbohydrate-binding proteins or enzymes.
• Glycoengineering: Utilized in the chemoenzymatic remodeling of glycoproteins to create homogeneous glycoforms with desired biological properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing activity-based probes to label and study glycosidases in living systems.

Quality Control

Our 1-Thio-β-D-Galactopyranose Sodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets high-purity research and production standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator.
