Description

.Alpha.-L-Arabinopyranoside, Methyl 1-Thio- is a specialized thioglycoside derivative of arabinose, serving as a crucial chiral building block and synthetic intermediate. Its value lies in its role as a glycosyl donor or acceptor in stereoselective glycosylation reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. This high-purity biochemical is essential for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, carbohydrate chemistry, and the production of advanced diagnostic reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer agents that target carbohydrate-mediated biological processes.
• Glycobiology Research: Used as a standardized substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies to investigate glycosidase and glycosyltransferase activity and function.
• Oligosaccharide Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for the chemical and enzymatic construction of complex, biologically active oligosaccharides and glycans.
• Glycoconjugate Development: Employed in creating labeled probes, vaccines, and diagnostic tools where specific carbohydrate epitopes are required.
• Chemical Biology Tool: Utilized in activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) and the development of mechanism-based inhibitors for carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
• Standards and Reference Materials: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in analytical laboratories.

Quality Control

Every batch of .Alpha.-L-Arabinopyranoside, Methyl 1-Thio- is manufactured under a strict quality management system and undergoes comprehensive analytical testing. We ensure compliance with exacting standards for identity, purity, and consistency suitable for research and commercial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (HPLC), optical rotation, and impurity profile is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and performance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under inert atmosphere or in a desiccator after opening to maintain stability and prevent decomposition.
