Description

4-Aminophenylb-D-Thiocellobiose is a specialized thioglycoside derivative of cellobiose, featuring an aminophenyl aglycone. This compound is significant for its role as a key intermediate and biochemical tool in the research and development of glycosidase inhibitors and carbohydrate-based pharmaceuticals. It is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in enzymology studies, drug discovery programs, and the synthesis of novel glycoconjugates for therapeutic applications.

Application

• Glycosidase Inhibition Research: Serves as a substrate analog or inhibitor in studies of cellulases and other β-glycosidases.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex carbohydrate-based drug candidates targeting metabolic and infectious diseases.
• Biochemical Probe Development: Acts as a building block for creating affinity labels, fluorescent tags, or photoaffinity probes for enzyme active site mapping.
• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: Employed in the preparation of neoglycoproteins, glycolipids, or other synthetic antigens for immunological studies.
• Enzyme Mechanism Studies: Utilized to investigate the catalytic mechanisms and specificity of carbohydrate-processing enzymes.

Quality Control

Our 4-Aminophenylb-D-Thiocellobiose is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided with every shipment.

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 should be kept sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and performance.
