Description

α-D-Glc-[1->6]-α-D-Glc-[1->4]-α-D-Glc-[1->4]-β-D-Glc-1->o-Cete is a defined oligosaccharide derivative, specifically a cetyl glycoside of a branched glucotetrasaccharide. This compound is a valuable synthetic intermediate and reference standard for carbohydrate chemistry research and development. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and specialty chemical sectors for applications requiring precise carbohydrate structures, such as in glycobiology studies, vaccine development, and the synthesis of complex glycoconjugates.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: Used as a well-defined substrate or inhibitor for studying glycosidase and glycosyltransferase enzyme activities.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis of novel carbohydrate-based therapeutics and vaccines.
• Diagnostic Reagent Synthesis: Employed in the production of specialized reagents for diagnostic assays targeting carbohydrate antigens.
• Bioconjugation: The cetyl (C16) chain provides a lipophilic anchor, making it suitable for creating amphiphilic glycoconjugates for membrane studies or drug delivery systems.
• Enzyme Specificity Profiling: Acts as a specific probe to determine the linkage specificity of carbohydrate-active enzymes.
• Standards for Analytical Chemistry: Provides a high-purity standard for method development and validation in chromatographic (HPLC, LC-MS) and spectroscopic analyses of complex carbohydrates.
