Properties
Description
Lentinan-C16 palmitic acid, identified as C16 palmitic acid-lentinan, forms a lipid-modified derivative where fatty acid chains are covalently attached to lentinan's β-1,3-1,6-glucan backbone. The modified biopolymer retains helical integrity while optimizing immunotherapeutic tumor inhibition through thymic signaling pathways.
Glycan Structure
Its glycan structure is a β-(1→3)-linked d-glucose backbone with β-(1→6)-glucosyl side branches.
