Properties
Description
Lentinan-N3, known as azide-lentinan, stands as a novel conjugate integrating the immune-regulatory β-1,3-1,6-glucan lentinan with azide. The engineered compound utilizes lentinan's triple-stranded helical formation and tumor-suppressive characteristics via thymus-dependent immunological stimulation mechanisms.
Glycan Structure
Its glycan structure is a β-(1→3)-linked d-glucose backbone with β-(1→6)-glucosyl side branches.
