Description

α-D-Glucopyranose 6-[(9Z)-9-Octadecenoate] CAS NO 68727-57-1 is a specific chemical derivative of glucose, where a monounsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid) is esterified at the 6-position of the sugar ring. This molecular structure makes it a valuable synthetic intermediate and a model compound for research into amphiphilic molecules and glycolipid mimics. It is primarily sought by researchers and developers in the life sciences and specialty chemical sectors for applications requiring a defined sugar-fatty acid conjugate. Key industries include pharmaceutical research, cosmetic science, and advanced material development.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies, particularly for lipases and esterases, to investigate hydrolysis kinetics and specificity.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key synthetic intermediate or building block for the creation of novel prodrugs, drug delivery vehicles, or bioactive glycolipid analogs.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulation: Acts as a model compound for developing novel, sugar-based emulsifiers, surfactants, or skin-conditioning agents with unique biocompatibility profiles.
• Material Science: Investigated for the synthesis of advanced polymers, hydrogels, or self-assembling nanostructures due to its amphiphilic nature.
• Glycolipid Mimicry: Employed in immunological and membrane biology research to study cell signaling, receptor interactions, and the properties of natural glycolipids.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used in chromatography (HPLC, GC) and mass spectrometry as a high-purity reference material for method development and compound identification.

Quality Control

Our α-D-Glucopyranose 6-[(9Z)-9-Octadecenoate] is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with key parameters such as assay (HPLC), identification (IR, NMR), and impurity profiles. For research and development purposes, we can often accommodate specific purity requirements or analytical method validation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at 2-8°C (refrigerated) under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation. The compound is easily oxidized; therefore, contact with air should be minimized during handling. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials.
