Description

4-o-[3-o-(2-O,3-O,4-O,6-o-Tetramethyl-β-D-Galactopyranosyl)-2-O,4-O,6-o-Trimethyl-β-D-Galactopyranosyl]-2-O,3-O,5-O,6-o-Tetramethyl-D-Glucose is a highly specific, per-O-methylated trisaccharide derivative that serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced carbohydrate chemistry. Its value lies in its precisely defined structure, which is essential for research into glycosylation mechanisms, enzyme specificity, and the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides. This compound is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic research institutions, and specialty chemical manufacturers focused on developing novel glycotherapeutics, diagnostic tools, and high-purity biochemical reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex carbohydrate-based drug candidates, including potential antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Glycobiology & Enzymology Studies: Used as a well-defined substrate or inhibitor to study the activity and specificity of glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, and other carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity standard for chromatographic (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic (NMR, MS) methods to identify and quantify related saccharides in complex mixtures.
• Synthetic Chemistry Intermediate: A building block for the controlled, stepwise synthesis of larger, more complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates with specific methylation patterns.
• Biomimetic Material Development: Investigated for creating synthetic analogs of natural glycans for use in biosensors, targeted drug delivery systems, and bioactive surface coatings.
