Description

β-D-Galactopyranose, 2-Amino-2,6-Dideoxy-3-o-Methyl- (9Ci) is a chemically modified amino sugar derivative, specifically a methylated and deoxygenated galactose analog. This compound serves as a critical chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for the development of novel bioactive molecules. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and glycoscience sectors who require high-purity, structurally defined carbohydrate intermediates for drug discovery and development programs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel antibiotics, antiviral agents, and complex glycosidase inhibitors.
• Glycobiology Research: Used as a standard or building block for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, enzyme mechanisms, and cell surface recognition processes.
• Oligosaccharide Synthesis: Serves as a protected glycosyl donor or acceptor in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Potential component in the design of diagnostic assays and probes targeting specific carbohydrate-binding proteins or pathogens.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized to create labeled or tagged sugar analogs for metabolic labeling and imaging studies within living systems.
• Process Development: Acts as a starting material for scaling up the production of specialty carbohydrates under GMP conditions for clinical trials.

Quality Control

Every batch of our β-D-Galactopyranose, 2-Amino-2,6-Dideoxy-3-o-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and consistency for your research and development needs. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (HPLC), chiral purity, and impurity profile is supplied with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 product degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
