Properties
Description
Lentinan-vinylsulfone, designated vinylsulfone-lentinan, stands as a contemporary biochemical hybrid linking the immune-regulating β-1,3-1,6-glucan lentinan with vinylsulfone. The amalgamated molecule utilizes lentinan's triplex helical architecture and tumor-inhibitory attributes via thymus-dependent immune activation pathways.
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
Vinylsulfone
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-vinylsulfone can be used for its potential to develop vinylsulfone-functionalized matrices for thiol-mediated cell adhesion studies at biomaterial interfaces.
