Description

6-o-(2-O,3-O,5-O,6-o-Tetraacetyl-β-D-Galactofuranosyl)-D-Galactose 2,3,4,5-Tetraacetate is a highly functionalized, fully acetylated galactose disaccharide derivative, serving as a critical protected intermediate in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Its value lies in providing a stable, reactive scaffold for the precise construction of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, particularly those developing novel glycotherapeutics, diagnostic tools, and advanced biomaterials.

Application

• Glycochemistry Research: A key protected building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex galactose-containing oligosaccharides and glycans.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the development of carbohydrate-based drugs, including antiviral agents, anti-inflammatory compounds, and cancer therapeutics.
• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating glycoproteins, glycolipids, and neoglycoconjugates for vaccine development and targeted drug delivery systems.
• Biochemical Probe Development: Utilized to synthesize labeled or modified galactose derivatives for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, enzyme mechanisms, and cell signaling pathways.
• Standards and Reference Materials: Acts as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in carbohydrate analysis (HPLC, MS).

Quality Control

Our 6-o-(2-O,3-O,5-O,6-o-Tetraacetyl-β-D-Galactofuranosyl)-D-Galactose 2,3,4,5-Tetraacetate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent hydrolysis of the acetyl groups. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
