Featured Products
Trehalose (CAS 99-20-7), isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two α-glucose units connected by an α,α-1,1-glucosidic linkage. It enhances cellular resistance to stress factors such as dehydration and cryopreservation; however, mammalian cells require intracellular presence of trehalose, which is limited by low membrane permeability due to its hydrophilic, non-ionic nature. Derivatization strategies (e.g., acetylation) to increase membrane traversal may enable the application of trehalose in biopreservation and cytoprotection research.
