Description

Tri-o-Acetyl-D-[2-13C]Galactal is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of galactal, specifically acetylated and enriched with carbon-13 at the C-2 position. This compound is a crucial advanced synthetic intermediate and tracer molecule for research in carbohydrate chemistry and metabolic studies. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic research institutions, and specialty chemical manufacturers developing novel glycosidase inhibitors, glycoconjugates, and diagnostic probes.

Application

• Isotope Tracer in Metabolic Pathway Studies: Used in NMR-based research to track the metabolic fate of galactose and related sugars in biological systems.
• Key Intermediate for Labeled Glycosidase Inhibitors: Serves as a building block for the synthesis of carbon-13 labeled glycosidase inhibitors for mechanistic and pharmacokinetic studies.
• Synthesis of Stable Isotope-Labeled Glycoconjugates: Enables the production of labeled oligosaccharides, glycolipids, and glycoproteins for use as internal standards in mass spectrometry.
• Research Tool in Enzymology: Employed to study the mechanism and kinetics of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases using isotopic labeling techniques.
• Precursor for Radiolabeled Compounds: Acts as a strategic intermediate for the further synthesis of tritium or carbon-14 labeled compounds for advanced biodistribution studies.
• Development of Diagnostic Imaging Agents: Used in research toward PET (Positron Emission Tomography) tracer development based on sugar analogs.
