Description

D-Erythro-Pentofuranoside, Methyl 2-Deoxy-4-Thio- is a specialized thioglycoside derivative, a key building block in synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry. Its unique structure, featuring a sulfur atom in place of an oxygen in the sugar ring, makes it a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and carbohydrate-based pharmaceuticals. This compound is particularly sought after by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of antiviral agents, enzyme inhibitors, and novel therapeutic molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of novel nucleoside analogs with potential antiviral or anticancer activity.
• Glycobiology Research: Used as a building block for creating thioglycosides to study carbohydrate-protein interactions and enzyme mechanisms.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Serves as a starting material for developing activity-based probes or labeled compounds for metabolic pathway studies.
• Process Chemistry: Employed in route development and scale-up for the production of complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Academic Research: Utilized in universities and R&D labs for methodological development in synthetic organic chemistry.

Quality Control

Every batch of D-Erythro-Pentofuranoside, Methyl 2-Deoxy-4-Thio- is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive analytical data including HPLC purity, NMR, and mass spectrometry for verification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available for each lot and provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
