Description

Hepta-o-Acetyl-β-D-Maltosyl-Isothiocyanate is a highly functionalized carbohydrate derivative, serving as a critical building block in synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry. Its core value lies in the reactive isothiocyanate group, which enables efficient conjugation to amines, making it an essential reagent for the synthesis of glycoconjugates and labeled biomolecules. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in advanced glycosylation studies, carbohydrate-based drug development, and the creation of fluorescent or affinity probes.

Application

• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: Key intermediate for the chemical ligation of maltose-based oligosaccharides to proteins, peptides, or other carriers.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Building block for developing novel carbohydrate-based therapeutics, prodrugs, and targeted delivery systems.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Used to introduce a maltosyl epitope or linker via stable thiourea bonds for creating labeled antibodies, enzymes, or other biomolecules.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Facilitates the study of carbohydrate-protein interactions and glycosylation processes through affinity or fluorescent tagging.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or cross-linker for synthesizing novel bio-inspired polymers and hydrogels with specific sugar motifs.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Serves as a precursor for diagnostic assays that detect specific carbohydrate-binding proteins or antibodies.

Quality Control

Our Hepta-o-Acetyl-β-D-Maltosyl-Isothiocyanate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and specific tests for residual solvents and moisture. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label or COA. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to maintain stability and prevent decomposition.
