Collection: Oligosaccharides [Glycoscience]

Oligosaccharides [Glycoscience] — covers oligosaccharide chains such as cyclodextrins and their derivatives, composed of glucose units forming a cyclic structure with a hydrophobic cavity. This category gathers complex carbohydrates that serve as host molecules as well as building materials in glycoscience research.

Oligosaccharides [Glycoscience] are used by supramolecular chemistry and pharmaceutical researchers to form inclusion complexes, using alpha-, beta-, or gamma-cyclodextrin as host molecules for poorly soluble guest compounds. Modified derivatives such as triacetyl-beta-cyclodextrin are also used to adjust solubility and surface properties in delivery studies. Other complex oligosaccharide compounds are also used as building units in the synthesis of larger supramolecular structures.

Example products in this collection: TCI T2452 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis[3,5-bis(per-O-methyl-alpha-cyclodextrin-6-yloxy)phenyl]-21H,23H-porphine, TCI C0776 10016-20-3 alpha-Cyclodextrin, TCI T2451 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis[4-(per-O-methyl-alpha-cyclodextrin-6-yloxy)phenyl]porphyrin, TCI C0777 7585-39-9 beta-Cyclodextrin, TCI T2450 1,1,1-Tris[4-(per-O-methyl-alpha-cyclodextrin-6-yloxy)phenyl]ethane, TCI C0869 17465-86-0 gamma-Cyclodextrin, TCI T1844 23739-88-0 Triacetyl-beta-cyclodextrin, TCI C0900 7585-39-9 beta-Cyclodextrin.

Selecting an oligosaccharide requires attention to the size of the cyclic cavity (number of glucose units) and the modification status of its hydroxyl groups, as both determine the capacity and selectivity of inclusion complex formation. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
