Description

Conduritol A is a naturally occurring cyclitol, a polyhydroxy cyclohexane derivative, with the CAS registry number 526-87-4. This versatile chiral building block is valued for its unique stereochemistry and functional group array, making it a critical intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily sought by research institutions and chemical manufacturers for developing novel therapeutic agents, enzyme inhibitors, and complex carbohydrates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of glycosidase inhibitors, antiviral drugs, and other bioactive molecules.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly for glycosidases and related enzymes.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a versatile scaffold and starting material for the preparation of complex, stereodefined natural products and analogs.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry: Employed in the synthesis of cyclitol-based compounds, C-glycosides, and other sugar mimetics.
• Chemical Biology Tool: Utilized in probe development to study carbohydrate-processing pathways and cellular recognition events.

Quality Control

Our Conduritol A is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for fine chemicals, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific research or cGMP starting material requirements 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
