CAS 10030-85-0: L-Rhamnose monohydrate

L-[UL-13C6]Rhamnose monohydrate is a high purity, custom synthesis sugar. It has been modified with fluorination, glycosylation and methylation to synthesize a complex carbohydrate. This compound has been shown to be useful in the synthesis of oligosaccharides and monosaccharides. L-[UL-13C6]Rhamnose monohydrate is also used in click chemistry, which is a new method that uses the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction to form stable covalent bonds between molecules. The CAS number for this compound is 10030-85-0 (unlabelled).

L-rhamnose (Rha, 6-deoxy-L-mannose) (Collins, 2006) is normally bound to other sugars as a glycoside in many plant oligosaccharides and in polysaccharides. Rhamnose is also a component of the cell wall of Mycobacterium. In plants, rhamnose is found in the polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan I, a branched pectic polysaccharide that accounts for 7–14% of the primary wall (Oomen, 2002). Rhamnose is also found in rhamnogalacturonan II, a complex polysaccharide that accounts for ∌4% of the wall in dicots (Vidal, 2000). Rhamnose is also found in chacotriose and solatriose, the glycan components of solamargine and solasonine, two glycoalkaloids with anticancer properties (Al Sinani, 2017). An understanding of the rhamnose-containing polysaccharides of the gram positive cell wall has identified the biosynthetic pathway as an attractive therapeutic target for antimicrobial drug development (Mistou, 2016).

Rhamnose monohydrate

L-(+)-Rhamnose monohydrate is used as a starting material for the production of furanones. It is an important material involved in the reaction of flavors developed during the preparation of various foods like bread, grilled meats, etc. It is also essential to test the permeability of the intestinal tract. Further, it is used as sweeting agent. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.

L-Rhamnose monohydrate is a sugar that is found in plants, animals, and bacteria. It is a component of polysaccharides like cellulose and hemicellulose. L-Rhamnose monohydrate has been shown to stimulate the growth of probiotic bacteria like Lactobacillus acidophilus in vitro. It also has antiviral properties against the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The antiviral activity may be due to its ability to inhibit viral replication by interfering with the synthesis of viral DNA and RNA. L-Rhamnose monohydrate may also have anti-inflammatory effects due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis through inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzyme activity. This product has applications as a dietary supplement and ingredient in functional foods or beverages.

Rhamnose monohydrate (L-(+)-Rhamnose Monohydrate) is a naturally-occurring deoxy sugar that is found primarily in plants and some bacteria.
