Cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexaol, also known as inositol, is a natural cyclohexane derivative and alcohol compound with biological activity in signal transduction, osmotic pressure regulation, and lipid metabolism, and is widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

Alitame is a high-intensity sweetener and sugar substitute widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

Iditol is a compound of rare sugar alcohol (polyol).

Tyvelose is an unusual 3,6-dideoxyhexose terminal sugar and the immunodominant component of glycoprotein antigens in the parasitic helminth T. spiralis, which is responsible for trichinosis in humans. It is produced in high amounts by the infective larva and is immunodominant during the muscle stage of infection. Mice immunized with tyvelose-BSA produce IgG1 antibodies to tyvelose but are not resistant to infection by T. spiralis. Tyvelose-specific antibodies (2.5 mg 20 g) administered to rat pups leads to expulsion of first stage larvae from the intestine within one hour.

D-Ribulose has potential as an anticancer and antiviral compound and is a rare sugar used in the food, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries.

N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) is a terminal essential amino sugar derived from galactose and forms the antigens of blood group A in humans.

UDP-GalNAc (UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine) disodium, a sugar nucleotide, serves as a substrate for EpsC115, an exopolymeric substances (EPS) N-terminal deletion mutant lacking residues 1-115. Additionally, UDP-GalNAc acts as the donor substrate for numerous N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases, which transfer GalNAc from the nucleotide sugar to various saccharide or peptide acceptors [1].

GDP-L-fucose disodium, a nucleotide sugar, serves as a crucial substrate for fucose oligosaccharides biosynthesis by providing the fucose moiety. Its formation follows two metabolic pathways: the primary de novo pathway and the secondary remedial pathway [1].

SQDG, a membrane glycolipid characterized by sugar moieties in its head groups, is instrumental in studying the influence of structural lipids in LNP formulations [1].

Lipid U 105, an ionizable cationic lipid (pKa = 6.65), is employed in formulating lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for delivering circular RNA both in vitro and in vivo. These LNPs, containing lipid U 105 and circular RNA for VEGF-A, enhance VEGF-A levels, boosting the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Moreover, applying these LNPs topically accelerates wound healing in diabetic mice on a high-fat and -sugar diet.

Sucrose Monododecanoate is a sugar-based surfactant, which can be used as mucosal adjuvant.

Lotus tetragonolobus lectin (LTL), extracted from Lotus tetragonolobus, is a plant lectin that specifically binds to fucose-containing sugar structures. It is utilized in the study of cell surface receptor recognition and cell adhesion processes. Additionally, LTL inhibits macrophage migration and plays a role in immunomodulatory processes.

D-Glucamine, 98% (1-Amino-1-deoxy-D-glucitol, 98%) is an amino sugar derivative used as an excipient in pharmaceutical preparations. Additionally, it serves as a substrate for studies investigating the sugar transporter protein pathways.

1-Deoxy-1-morpholino-D-fructose can be used in sugar science research.

D-Glucose pentaacetate (Penta-O-acetyl-D-glucopyranose) is a sugar that exists in an open-ring form.

2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate is a biochemical reagent utilized in glycobiology research.
