Cat. No.: HY-W423191 Purity: 90.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Maltobionic acid (4-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-gluconic acid) is an orally active oligosaccharide and iron chelator with antibacterial activity. Maltobionic acid inhibits the expression of NFATc1, suppresses osteoclast differentiation, inhibits bone resorption, and increases serum calcitonin levels. Maltobionic acid protects mammalian cells from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage; resists fermentation by the gut microbiota; and exhibits anti-digestive and anti-fermentative properties. Maltobionic acid can be used in research related to osteoporosis, bacterial infections, and constipation.

Description

Maltobionic acid (4-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-gluconic acid) is an orally active oligosaccharide and iron chelator with antibacterial activity. Maltobionic acid inhibits the expression of NFATc1, suppresses osteoclast differentiation, inhibits bone resorption, and increases serum calcitonin levels. Maltobionic acid protects mammalian cells from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage; resists fermentation by the gut microbiota; and exhibits anti-digestive and anti-fermentative properties. Maltobionic acid can be used in research related to osteoporosis, bacterial infections, and constipation[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

Maltobionic acid (0.01-1000 μM; 72 h) significantly inhibits sRANKL (an NF-κB activator)-induced osteoclast differentiation of RAW264 cells without reducing cell viability[1].
Maltobionic acid (100-1000 μM; 48 h) significantly reduces the expression of NFATc1, a key transcription factor for osteoclast differentiation, in sRANKL-stimulated RAW264 cells[1].
Maltobionic acid (100-1000 μM; 15 min) significantly enhances sRANKL-induced IκBα phosphorylation in RAW264 cells[1].
Maltobionic acid (0.4-50 mg/mL; 24 h) inhibits the growth of *Salmonella choleraesuis*, *Escherichia coli*, *Staphylococcus aureus* and *Listeria monocytogenes*, with MIC values of 8.0, 8.5, 10.5 and 8.0 mg/mL, respectively[2].
Maltobionic acid (100 μg/mL; 24.5 h) exerts cytoprotective effects on HEK-293 cells against H2O2-induced oxidative damage[2].
Cassava starch-chitosan films supplemented with 7.5% (w/w) maltose acid inhibit the growth of *Listeria monocytogenes*, *Salmonella choleraesuis*, *Escherichia coli* and *Staphylococcus aureus*, with a zone of inhibition diameter ranging from 15.67 to 22.33 mm[2].
Sodium maltobionate (10% (w/v) to 1% (w/w); 30 min-6 h) is completely indigestible by artificial saliva, gastric juice, and pancreatic juice in vitro, and is only minimally (3.3%) digested by rat intestinal enzymes[4].
Sodium maltobionate (0.5% (w/v); 3 days) is selectively utilized by specific human intestinal bacteria, and exhibits strong proliferative activity against Bifidobacterium dentium and Bifidobacterium adolescentis[4].

In Vivo

Maltobionic acid (5.0% (w/w); administered via mixed feed for oral ingestion; ad libitum access; 80 days) improves bone mineral density and bone metabolism in ovariectomized mice by significantly increasing femoral mineral content and serum calcitonin levels, and reducing serum TRACP-5b levels, a marker of bone resorption[1].
Maltobionic acid (1600 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration) exhibits high resistance to digestion and fermentation in rats[3].
Maltobionic acid enhances intestinal absorption of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in healthy rats, and increases the weight of cecal contents and levels of short-chain fatty acids[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

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.
