Lacto-N-tetraose is the significant core structure of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) naturally existing in human milk. Lacto-N-tetraose is consist of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and glucose moieties. Lacto-N-tetraose has prebiotic effect, immune regulatory effect, anti-inflammatory effects, intestinal cell responses regulatory effect, antibacterial activity and antiviral activity. Lacto-N-tetraose has been widely added to infant formula.

Description

Lacto-N-tetraose is the significant core structure of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) naturally existing in human milk. Lacto-N-tetraose is consist of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and glucose moieties. Lacto-N-tetraose has prebiotic effect, immune regulatory effect, anti-inflammatory effects, intestinal cell responses regulatory effect, antibacterial activity and antiviral activity. Lacto-N-tetraose has been widely added to infant formula[1].

In Vitro

HMOs exhibits antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against Streptococcus agalactiae, antibiofilm activity against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and antimicrobial activity against both Acinetobacter baumannii and Clostridium difficile[2].
Lacto-N-tetraose (500-2000 μg/mL) does not cause clastogenic or aneugenic signs in human peripheral blood lymphocytes, nor increase the percentage of micronucleated cells[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Lacto-N-tetraose (1000-4000 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 90 days) does not show toxicity in neonatal SD rats[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female neonatal SD rats (housed together with dam until weaning after 21 days)[3]
Dosage: 1000, 25000 and 4000 mg/kg 
Administration: p.o.; daily for 90 days
Result: Did not show toxicity on clinical observations, body weight, food consumption, development and maturation, clinical pathology, organ weights or histopathology.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
