Properties
Description
Lentinan-biotin, designated biotin-lentinan, comprises a novel biochemical hybrid combining the immunomodulatory β-1,3-1,6-glucan lentinan with biotin. This amalgamated molecule leverages lentinan's helical tertiary geometry and cancer-inhibiting attributes through thymus-dependent immune response activation.
Glycan Structure
Its glycan structure is a β-(1→3)-linked d-glucose backbone with β-(1→6)-glucosyl side branches.

Chemical synthesis
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Lentinan-biotin can be used for its potential to utilize biotin tags for streptavidin-based purification of polysaccharide-protein complexes.
