Description

6-o-[4-o-(2-O,3-O,4-O,6-o-Tetramethyl-α-D-Glucopyranosyl)-2-O,3-O,6-o-Trimethyl-α-D-Glucopyranosyl]-2-O,3-O,4-O,5-o-Tetramethyl-D-Glucose is a highly specific, fully methylated trisaccharide derivative that serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced carbohydrate chemistry. Its precise structure and defined methylation pattern make it invaluable for research into glycosylation mechanisms, enzyme specificity, and the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides. This compound is essential for pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic institutions, and fine chemical manufacturers focused on developing novel glycotherapeutics, diagnostic tools, and high-value specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates for drug discovery programs.
• Biochemical Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard in analytical methods (HPLC, GC-MS, NMR) for calibrating instruments and quantifying related compounds.
• Enzymology Studies: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor to study the activity and specificity of glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, and other carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
• Glycobiology Research: A fundamental building block for investigating cell-surface interactions, immune response modulation, and carbohydrate-based signaling pathways.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a protected precursor for the custom synthesis of labeled (e.g., 13C, 2H) sugars or more complex, biologically active carbohydrate structures.
