Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are organic compounds formed by the union of multiple monomers, which are joined together by glycosidic bonds to create large and often branched molecules. These complex carbohydrates play crucial roles in various biological functions, including energy storage, structural support, and cell-cell communication. In this section, you will find a diverse range of polysaccharides essential for research in biochemistry, molecular biology, and glycoscience. These compounds are vital for studying metabolic pathways, cell wall structures, and the therapeutic potential of carbohydrates. At CymitQuimica, we provide high-quality polysaccharides to support your scientific research, ensuring precision and reliability in your experimental outcomes.

CAS:Konjac glucomannan is an acetylated (1,4)-β-D-glucomannan obtained from the tubers of Amorphophallus konjac or Konnyaku root. It is widely used in foods, pharmaceuticals paints and explosives. It has been shown that ternary mixtures of konjac glucomannan, xanthan gum and sodium alginate can form a non-covalently linked complex which exhibits enhanced rheological properties of value in, for example, functional foods.Purity:Min. 75%Color and Shape:White PowderHydroxyethyl cellulose, high viscosity

CAS:Gycosaminoglycan in many organs; joint lubricant and shock absorberFormula:(C14H20NO11Na)nPurity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderN-Acetyl-heparin
CAS:N-Acetyl heparin is a glycosaminoglycan, which occurs in many mammalian tissues and has important anticoagulant and thrombolytic properties. The chemical structure is composed mainly of two disaccharide repeating units A and B. A is L-iduronic acid 2-suplhate linked α-(1,4) to 2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-D-galactose 6-sulphate, while B is D-glucuronic acid β-(1,4) linked to 2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-D-glucose 6-sulphate.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderHyaluronate fluorescein - MW - 800kDa
Hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide with alternating β (1,3) glucuronide and β (1,4) glucosamine residues labelled with 5-amino-fluorescein gives a yellow fibrous product, which is soluble in both water and electrolytes. Fluorescein-labelled hyaluronic acid can be used as a probe to follow the fate of hyaluronan in vitro and greatly enhances the visualisation of the permeation of substrates through skin and other tissues. Other applications of fluorescein-labelled hyaluronic acid have been reported in cancer research.Purity:(%) Min. 95%Color and Shape:Yellow Orange PowderNonasaccharide Glc4Xyl3Gal2

CAS:Ivory nut mannan occurs in members of the custard apple, ebony and palm families - Ivory nut. The polysaccharide contains more than 95% mannose units linked β-(1,4) with a few a-D-galactopyranosyl units linked (1,6). It is widely used in foods, pharmaceuticals paints and explosives.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White PowderDextran sulfate sodium - MW 5,000-8,000
CAS:Dextran sulphate is a dextran derivative whose ulcer (colitis) -causing properties were first reported in hamsters and extrapolated a few years later to mice and rats. The exact mechanisms through which dextran sulphate induces intestinal inflammation are unclear but may be the result of direct damage of the monolayer of epithelial cells in the colon, leading to the crossing of intestinal contents (for e.g. commensal bacteria and their products) into underlying tissue and therefore induction of inflammation. The dextran sulphate sodium induced ulceration model in laboratory animals has some advantages, when compared to other animal models of colitis, due to its simplicity and similarities to human inflammatory bowel disease.Formula:(C6H7Na3O14S3)nPurity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderIsomaltose

CAS:The sodium salt of hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan found in many organs, where it functions as a joint lubricant and shock absorber. It is obtained principally from synovial fluid, vitreous humor of the eye, umbilical tissue and cocks comb. The chemical structure of hyaluronic is a disaccharide repeat of β-(1,3) glucuronic acid and β-(1,4) N-acetyl glucosamine.Formula:(C14H20NO11Na)nPurity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderFucoidan, macrocystis pyrifera
CAS:A fucan sulphate found in brown marine algae (Phaeophyta-typically Fucus vesiculotus, Ascophyllum nodosum, Alaria and Macrocystis pyrifyra (illustrated) and has been shown to have anticoagulant activity. The main constituents are α-1,4 and α-1,2 linked L-fucose sulphates, although galactose also occurs and there are many variations of the basic structure found in different species of Phaeophyta. The fucose content of this fucan is approx. 31% and it also contains galactose (approx. 2.2%), uronic acid (approx. 12.4%) and sulfate (approx. 32.5%).

CAS:Carboxymethyl cellulose is used in food as a viscosity modifier, thickener, to stabilise emulsions and are found in gluten-free and reduced-fat products. It is also a constituent of toothpaste, laxatives, diet pills, water-based paints, detergents, textile sizing, and various paper products. In laundry detergents, it is used as a soil suspension polymer. It is also used in pharmaceuticals as a thickening agent and in the oil-drilling industry as a viscosity modifier and water-retaining agent.Formula:C8H16O8Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White PowderMolecular weight:240.21 g/mol
