1-(isopropylthio)-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-Ac-β-D-glucosylpyranose is a small molecule linker that contains several functional groups, including a thioether group, an acetyl group, and a glucosyl group.
The thioether group, which contains a sulfur atom, can be used to covalently attach the linker to other molecules, such as peptides or proteins, through thiol chemistry. This enables the selective conjugation of the linker to specific sites on the target molecule, allowing for the creation of targeted drug delivery systems or bioconjugates.
The acetyl group, which is a type of carbonyl group, can modify the physicochemical properties of the linker, such as its solubility and stability. It can also affect the reactivity of the thioether group, by providing a neighboring carbonyl group that can enhance the thiol reactivity.
The glucosyl group, which is a type of sugar, can also affect the physicochemical properties of the linker, such as its solubility and stability. Additionally, the glucosyl group can be used to selectively target the linker to specific cells or tissues, through the recognition of sugar receptors on the cell surface.
1-(isopropylthio)-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-Ac-β-D-glucosylpyranose is a versatile small molecule linker that can be used in various bioconjugation and drug delivery applications, thanks to its thioether, acetyl, and glucosyl functional groups.
