Properties
Description
Lentinan-ferrocene, referred to as ferrocene-lentinan, represents a newly developed conjugate coupling the immunotherapeutic β-1,3-1,6-glucan lentinan with ferrocene. This synthesized entity applies lentinan's three-strand helical formation and tumor-restraining 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.
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Ferrocene
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-ferrocene can be used for its potential to incorporate ferrocene groups to study electron transfer mechanisms in bioelectrochemical systems.
