Description

5-Deoxy-D-Arabinose is a specialized monosaccharide derivative where the hydroxyl group at the 5-position is replaced by hydrogen. This structural modification makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is particularly sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the life sciences sector for developing nucleoside analogs, carbohydrate-based drugs, and other bioactive compounds. Our supply ensures high purity and batch-to-batch consistency for critical applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material for the synthesis of novel nucleoside and nucleotide analogs with potential antiviral or anticancer activity.
• Glycochemistry Research: Used as a precursor or model compound in the study of carbohydrate metabolism, enzyme inhibitors, and glycosylation processes.
• Chiral Synthesis: Serves as a chiral pool reagent for the asymmetric synthesis of complex natural products and fine chemicals.
• Bioconjugate Development: Employed in the design and synthesis of carbohydrate-protein conjugates for vaccine development and diagnostic applications.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized to create labeled sugars or metabolic probes for studying biological pathways and cellular uptake mechanisms.
• Reference Standard: Acts as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and compound identification.

Quality Control

Every batch of 5-Deoxy-D-Arabinose is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high-purity requirements for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, reporting key parameters such as purity (by HPLC), identity (by IR/NMR), and specific optical rotation. Our quality protocols are designed to support compliance in cGMP and ISO environments where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
