Octyl D-galactofuranoside is a disaccharide that is found in the plant Gossypium hirsutum. It has been shown to have antibacterial activity and can be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Octyl D-galactofuranoside has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to chloride ions and inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It also acts synergistically with other antibiotics, such as penicillin, ampicillin, sulfonamides, tetracycline, erythromycin, and cefadroxil. This compound has been shown to be biodegradable and o-glycosylated. Octyl D-galactofuranoside also has anti-leishmanial activity.
