Sugar surfactant harboring functions of protein extraction and solubilization IMCTA-C14 (Trifluoroacetate)
Date:July 01 2025Web Page No:520089
IMCTA-C14 is N-tetradecyl derivative from 4-trehalosamine and functions similarly to a sugar surfactant with a complex of a sugar as a hydrophilic group and long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon. This compound is stable against trehalases in mammalian and was not observed hydrolysis by porcine one.1) In addition, it showed high efficiency of protein extraction and solubilization without denaturing proteins.1)

4-Trehalosamine
4-Trehalosamine is a trehalose analogue which is expected to have similar functions of it and was known as biologically stable against digestion by mammalian trehalase. Furthermore, its functions which trehalose does not have is pH buffering action at neutral pH stronger than Tris which is a well-known buffer solution. Therefore, 4-trehalosamine might be expected to be more suitable for versatile applications than trehalose because of a moisturizing protectant with pH buffering action.

Lentztrehalose
Lentztrehalose A, B, C are trehalose analogues isolated from the soilid-state culture of Lentzea sp. ML457-mF8. Unlike trehalose, these lentztrehalose are stable to porcine kidney trehalase and not broken down by various microorganisms that metabolize trehalose.
