sugar

Invert sugar is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is T35380 and the CAS number is 8013-17-0.

D-Ribonolactone is a sugar lactone and an inhibitor of β-galactosidase in Escherichia coli (Ki: 26 mM).

Maltose (maltobiose) is a reducing sugar and is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose bound by a (1-4) bond. Maltose can be used as an energy source for bacteria.

D-Glucose (Glucopyranose) is a monosaccharide, a natural glucose, a sweetener. D-Glucose is the main functional substance of living organisms, and is used as a nutrient in medicine, with diuretic, detoxification and cardiotonic effects.

Sucralose is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener and sugar substitute that stimulates appetite in rodents by activating a conserved neural fasting response.

D-(+)-Trehalose (Mycose) can inhibit the decomposition of collagen, so it can be used to improve osteoporosis.

Perillartine (DL-Perillartine) is a sweetener. Perillartine activates the taste receptor type 1 member 2 (Tas1r2) subunit in a species-dependent manner.

D-Fructose (D-arabino-hexulose) , also known as D-(-)-Fructose or D-(-)-Levulose, is classified as a member of the Monosaccharides.

D-(+)-Xylose (Wood sugar) is an aldopentose - a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. It has chemical formula C5H10O5 and is 40% as sweet as sucrose. Xylose is also found in mucopolysaccharides of connective tissue and sometimes in the urine. Xylose is the first sugar added to serine or threonine residues during proteoglycan type O-glycosylation. Therefore xylose is involved in the biosythetic pathways of most anionic polysaccharides such as heparan sulphate and chondroitin sulphate. In medicine, xylose is used to test for malabsorption by administering a xylose solution to the patient after fasting. If xylose is detected in the blood and/or urine within the next few hours, it has been absorbed by the intestines. Xylose is said to be one of eight sugars which are essential for human nutrition, the others being galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, fucose, and sialic acid. . Xylose in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of apples and other fruits.

Cemdisiran, an investigational N-acetylgalactosamine-conjugated RNAi (RNA interference) agent with terminal sugar modification, is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) designed to specifically target and suppress the C5 mRNA, thereby reducing the liver's production of the complement component C5 [1].

UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase (BlUSP) is an enzyme that activates glucose-1-phosphate (Glc-1-P) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) and catalyzes the reversible transfer of the uridyl group from UTP to sugar-1-phosphate, yielding UDP-sugar and pyrophosphate (PPi) [1].

D-Sorbitol (Sorbitol) is a polyhydric alcohol with about half the sweetness of sucrose, occurring naturally and also produced synthetically from glucose. Formerly used as a diuretic, it may still be used as a laxative and in irrigating solutions for certain surgical procedures. It is also utilized in various manufacturing processes, as a pharmaceutical aid, and in several research applications.

Tsugaric acid A significantly inhibits superoxide anion formation in fMLP/CB-stimulated rat neutrophils and protects human keratinocytes against damage induced by ultraviolet B (UV B) light, indicating that tsugaric acid A can safeguard keratinocytes from photodamage.

UR-MK299 is a NPY Y1 receptor antagonist.

Ecomustine is a water-soluble nitrosoureido sugar derived from acosamine, with alkylating activity. Ecomustine is a novel antitumor compound that alkylates and crosslinks DNA, thereby inhibiting replication and transcription and eventually resulting in a reduction of cellular proliferation.

(S,R)-LSN 3318839 enhances GLP-1R, shows strong blood sugar lowering in animals, works with sitagliptin.

DL-Xylose ((±)-Xylos) is a sugar first derived from wood. DL-Xylose is classified as a monosaccharide of the aldopentose type.

L-Isoleucine (Ile) is an essential branched-chain aliphatic amino acid found in many proteins. It is an isomer of LEUCINE. It is important in hemoglobin synthesis and regulation of blood sugar and energy levels.

Glucosamine (Chitosamine) is a natural product. Glucosamine is used as a dietary supplement. Glucosamine has pharmacological effects on cartilage and chondrocytes in osteoarthritis when used externally. Glucosamine regulates sugar metabolism. Glucosamine reduces the activity of glucoskinase in pancreatic islet homogenate.

Dulcite (D-Galactitol) is a sugar alcohol that is a metabolic breakdown product of galactose.

meso-Erythritol (Phycitol) is a four-carbon sugar that is found in algae, fungi, and lichens. It is twice as sweet as sucrose and can be used as a coronary vasodilator.

Maltitol (4-O-α-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol) is a sugar alcohol (polyol) used as a sugar substitute.

D-(-)-Arabinose is a reducing sugar useful as a substrate in analysis of arabinose isomerases and synthesis of D-erythroascorbic acid in yeast. It shows strong growth inhibition against the Caenorhabditis elegans with an IC50 of 7.5 mM.

Xylitol (Ribitol) is a five-carbon sugar alcohol derived from XYLOSE by reduction of the carbonyl group. It is as sweet as sucrose and used as a noncariogenic sweetener.
