Properties
Description
Lentinan-folic acid, called FA-lentinan, represents a modern molecular hybrid linking the immunotherapeutic β-1,3-1,6-glucan lentinan with FA. This composite design applies lentinan's three-dimensional coil architecture and tumor-suppressing properties through thymus-dependent immune activation processes.
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-folic acid can be used for its potential to explore folic acid conjugation for receptor-mediated endocytosis studies in cancer cell lines.
