Product Description:

Sodium (2R,3R,4S,5R,6R)-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroxyheptanoate, also known as D-glycero-D-gulo-heptonic acid sodium salt, is a seven-carbon sugar acid derivative. It is the sodium salt of D-glycero-D-gulo-heptonic acid, which is a stereoisomer of heptonic acid. The compound features a linear chain with six hydroxyl groups and a terminal carboxylate group, making it a highly polar and water-soluble molecule. This compound is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It serves as a key chiral building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex carbohydrates, nucleosides, and other bioactive molecules. Its polyhydroxylated structure is valuable for studying carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme interactions. Furthermore, due to its ionic nature and solubility, it can function as a component in buffer systems or as an osmotic agent in certain biochemical and cell culture applications, aligning with its potential use as a pharmaceutical excipient for formulation purposes.
