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.

Ulvan
CAS:Ulvans are structural polysaccharides present in the cell walls of green algae such as Ulva armoricana, Ulva rotondata, Ulva rigida, Ulva lacterca and Ulva pertusa. They are highly sulphated and contain rhamnose 3-sulphate, xylose, xylose 2-sulphate, glucuronic acid and iduronic acid residues. Ulvan has several potentially valuable functionalities such as gel formation for agricultural and food applications and possible anticoagulant, antioxidant, antihyperlipidemic and antitumor activities for pharmaceutical applications.

Bacterial exopolysaccharide from gram negative Bacillus polymixaFormula:C23H36O18Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:600.52 g/molSchizophyllan
CAS:Schizophyllan is a neutral extracellular polysaccharide produced by the fungus Schyizophyllum commune. Schizophyllan is a β-1,3 beta glucan with β-1,6 branches and a molecular weight of around 450 kDa. It is reported that this polysaccharide can stimulate the immune system, chelate metals, act as an adjuvant in delivering drugs and aid in the production of nanofibres.

CAS:Formula:(C6H10O5)nColor and Shape:White, off-white, light-yellow or beige powderMolecular weight:-Fucoidan - Pelvetia canaliculata
CAS:A fucan sulphate found in brown marine algae (Phaeophyta-typically Fucus serratus, Ascophyllum nodosum, Pelvitiata canaliculata (illustrated) and Macrocystis pyrifyra) 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.

CAS:Larch arabinogalactan is extracted from the heartwood of the western larch Larix occidentalis. This compound has a backbone of 1,3-linked β-D-galactopyranosyl units each of which contains a side chain at position C-6. Arabinogalactans are used as emulsifiers, stabilizers and binders in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, as low viscosity dietary fibres and as a prebiotic fibres.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Off-White PowderHyaluronic acid sodium salt - Average MW 1.0 - 2.0 million Da
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)nColor and Shape:PowderColominic acid sodium salt
