| Glytech offers a clean, simple and natural route for custom synthesis of regiospecific glycosides. These conjugates have utility as: (1) active pharmaceutical ingredients; (2) nutraceuticals and dietary supplement;, (3) topical health care products; (4) standards for drug metabolites in clinical trials. The technology of Glytech can be used to provide either novel molecules or to improve the properties (solubility, stability, bioavailability) of existing compounds. Chemical synthesis of carbohydrate molecules can be either prohibitively expensive or intractable. Glytech provides a cost-effective solution. The chemical scaffolds applied to Gly-technology range from diverse classes of natural products (including flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, alkaloids, fatty acids and phytohormones) to synthetic small molecule chemicals. Sugars can be attached regioselectively and enantioselectively to the OH, SH, NH or COOH groups of the molecules. Products can be derived from scaffolds that are commercially available or from the client’s proprietary chemical libraries. Glytechnology also offers the means to accumulate high-value natural products as glycosides in field/containment applications. |
