chitin

Chitin is a large, structural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of insects, and certain hard structures in fish and invertebrates.

7-Methylsudachitin is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is T125643 and the CAS number is 16520-78-8.

Sudachitin is a polymethoxyflavone primarily found in Citrus sudachi. It exhibits anti-obesity effects by promoting lipolysis in fat cells. Additionally, Sudachitin reduces the production of MMP-1 and MMP-3 in TNF-α activated HPDLC by inhibiting the Akt pathway.

Ascochitine is a polyketide-derived secondary metabolite and a selective antifungal agent. It exhibits broad-spectrum phytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity.

Chitosan (MW 150000) (Deacetylated chitin) is a linear polysaccharide made up of randomly distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.

Chitobiose Octaacetate is a chitosan derivative formed from the acetylation of chitin, useful for synthesizing chitosan oxazoline and other chitin precursors.

Chitotetraose tetrahydrochloride is a short-chain chitin oligomer derived from arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. This compound effectively activates the conserved symbiosis signaling pathway (CSSP) in actinorhizal plant species.

N,N'-Diacetylchitobiose, a dimer of β(1,4) linked N-acetyl-D glucosamine, is derived from the hydrolysis of chitin. This compound serves as an alternative carbon source for E. coli.
