Oligosaccharides are third-order essential biopolymers like nucleic acids and proteins. Oligosaccharides on the cell surface play important roles in biological phenomena such as cell differentiation, aging, immune responses, diseases like cancer, viral infection and inflammation. There are great expectations for the discovery of novel oligosaccharide functions at the molecular level and even greater anticipation of the discovery of applications.

●Building Blocks
The use of versatile intermediates is very important for various oligosaccharide syntheses. Choices of the suitable protective groups are important for regio- and stereo-selective oligosaccharides syntheses. Synthetic strategy often determines whether the synthesis is successful or not. Protective groups must hold up against a variety of reaction conditions to construct an organic molecule but each group must be de-protected selectively for the following reaction. Thus, selective introduction and removal of protective groups are important in organic chemistry.
We have selected p-methoxyphenyl glycosides, which can be converted into the corresponding glycosyl donors.

●Functional Saccharides
Recent advanced analytical and functional studies have revealed that oligosaccharides are strongly involved in biological phenomena, such as immunity, cancer, regeneration medicine, differentiation, and infectious diseases.

Although various functions of the sugar chains have been described, the most difficult point in glycoscience is still getting enough resources to carry out the research. We supply a large number of sugar syntons for syntheses of glycoconjugates based on our technology, and we offer a custom synthesis service for sugar compounds that are not commercially available. We hope to contribute to the development of sugar chemistry, sugar biology, sugar analytics and other sugar science.
