Disaccharides

Sennoside is an orally active apoptosis inducer and stimulant laxative, found in Senna (Cassia angustifolia). Sennoside induces overexpression of wild-type p53 and p21/WAF as part of pathways mediating colonic epithelial cell apoptosis. Sennoside stimulates colonic peristalsis, reverses net water, sodium, chloride absorption to secretion and enhances potassium and calcium secretion. Sennoside increases paracellular permeability to small molecules, accelerates colon transit and softens fecal pellets. Sennoside can be used for the research of constipation, melanosis coli, and colorectal cancer.

Hepta-O-acetyl-α-D-lactosyl bromide (Compound 4) is a brominated lactoside. Hepta-O-acetyl-α-D-lactosyl bromide is a synthetic substrate for perfluoroalkyl-labeled lactose lipids.

β-Gentiobiose octaacetate can be used in glycobiology research.

4-O-(α-D-Mannopyranosyl)-D-mannose is a polysaccharide molecule.

Neoagarobiose has both a moisturizing effect on skin and a whitening effect on melanoma cells. RagaA11 is an endo-type beta-agarase hydrolysing not only agarose, but also neoagarotetraose, to yield neoagarobiose as the final main product.

α,α-Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) is a glucose analogue with potent anti-hyperglcaemic activity. α,α-Trehalose 6-phosphate is rapidly converted to the end product, α,α′-trehalose, through the action of α,α-Trehalose 6-phosphate phosphatase (T6PP).

Blood group H carbohydrate is a carbohydrate containing two monosaccharides, fucose and galactose, linked by α1-2 glycosidic bonds. It is the precursor of ABO blood group antigens, which are present on the surface of red blood cells and play a role in immune recognition and transfusion compatibility. Type H disaccharides have diverse applications in biochemical research, especially in the study of carbohydrate-protein interactions and the biosynthesis of blood group antigens. In addition, it can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify ABO blood group phenotypes.

Calcium Gluceptate is a calcium supplement. Calcium Gluceptate can be used for hypocalcaemia research.
