Lactooligosaccharides

Lactosyl fluoride is a kinetic inhibitor of glycosidase enzymes. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of the enzyme β-galactosidase in both the presence and absence of calcium. Lactosyl fluoride has also been shown to inhibit other glycosidases, including α-galactosidase and α-mannosidase. The lactose derivative is activated by hydrogen fluoride, which allows it to react with the enzyme and block its activity. This product can be used as a chemical biology tool for studying glycoconjugates or as a medicine for treating diseases caused by the accumulation of oligosaccharides, such as Gaucher's disease or Tay-Sachs disease.

The acetates of lactose are useful starting points and intermediates in the synthesis of oligosaccharides based on lactose, particularly in the synthesis of the important oligosaccharides that occur in human milk.

N-Acetylallolactosamine is a lectin that has been shown to have an acceptor for the oligosaccharide, n-acetylllactosamine. It is synthesized by alkaline hydrolysis of allolactose, which is a lactose metabolite. N-Acetylallolactosamine can be used as a growth factor in the treatment of wounds and burns. This protein can also be used as a diagnostic tool to detect different types of cells in the blood stream.

Unusual lactose sulphate isolated from canine milk (beagle-Canis familiaris), which does not appear to have previously been isolated from milk or other natural sources. The structure was established by 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Lactitol is a polyol that is used as a sweetener and has the potential to cause diarrhea. It belongs to the group of sugar alcohols, which are not completely digested by humans. Lactitol is produced from lactose, which is derived from milk. The main clinical relevance of lactitol is its high intestinal permeability, low caloric value, and ability to lower blood glucose levels in diabetics. Lactitol undergoes microbial metabolism through the action of certain bacteria in the colon and can be found in products such as probiotics and food supplements. It has been shown to have beneficial effects on chronic viral hepatitis and may be used for treatment of bacterial translocation. Lactitol also inhibits pge2 production in mice with colitis, leading to decreased inflammatory responses in their small intestines and colon. This inhibition may also lead to suppression of tumor growth or promotion of apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division.br>

Lactose is the principal sugar in human and most other mammalian milks, ( 4-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl)-d-glucopyranose) (Collins, 2006). Lactose undergoes mutarotation; it is a reducing sugar and is significantly less soluble in water than sucrose. Lactose is much less sweet than sucrose (at ~1% about 0.15 (sucrose=1). The enzyme lactase (β-galactosidase), which is present in the small intestine, catalyzes hydrolysis of lactose to form glucose and galactose. Anhydrous lactose is an excipient, filler, diluent, and bulking agent in a wide variety of pharmaceutical tablets, capsules, powders and other preparations. Lactose also has applications as a nutrient and multi-functional ingredient in infant formulae, geriatric, dietetic and health foods (Linko, 1982).
