Description

6-o-[6-o-(2-O,3-O,4-O,6-o-Tetramethyl-α-D-Galactopyranosyl)-2-O,3-O,4-o-Trimethyl-α-D-Galactopyranosyl]-2-O,3-O,4-O,5-o-Tetramethyl-D-Glucose is a highly specific, fully methylated trisaccharide derivative, serving as a critical reference standard and advanced synthetic intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry. Its precise structure and defined methylation pattern make it invaluable for research and development where exact molecular architecture is required. This compound is primarily needed by pharmaceutical research organizations, academic institutions, and specialty chemical manufacturers focusing on glycobiology, drug discovery, and complex oligosaccharide synthesis.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: Used as a well-defined standard for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, enzyme specificity, and metabolic pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or building block in the synthesis of complex carbohydrate-based drugs, vaccines, or diagnostic agents.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Essential for method development and calibration in analytical techniques like HPLC, LC-MS, and NMR for carbohydrate analysis.
• Enzymology Studies: Acts as a substrate or inhibitor for glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, and other carbohydrate-processing enzymes to elucidate their mechanisms.
• Synthetic Chemistry: A pivotal starting material or protected intermediate for the total synthesis of larger, more complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Material Science: Potential use in the development of specialty polymers, surfactants, or biomaterials with tailored surface properties.

Quality Control

Our production of this high-purity specialty chemical adheres to stringent quality assurance protocols. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR and HPLC to confirm structural identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation or clumping. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
