Chitosan octamer ;?Chitooctaose 8HCl
Chitooctaose 8HCl is an antiviral agent that inhibits the replication of viruses. It blocks the virus from entering and infecting cells by binding to its receptor, which prevents cell-to-cell transmission. Chitooctaose 8HCl has a hydrolysable form and can be acetylated to increase its potency. This drug also interacts with ligands such as oligosaccharides, which are molecules consisting of several monomers linked together in a chain. The structural changes in these oligosaccharides are important for the interaction with chitooctaose 8HCl. Chitooctaose 8HCl has been shown to inhibit the replication of RNA viruses such as influenza A virus, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and rotavirus. This antiviral agent also inhibits the replication of DNA viruses such as herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) and hepatitis B virusCAS No127171-90-8SynonymsChitosan octamerChemical FormulaC48H90N8O33?(HCl)8Molecular Weight1,598.95 g/molSmilesCl.Cl.Cl.Cl.Cl.Cl.Cl.Cl.NC1C(O)OC(CO)C(OC2OC(CO)C(OC3OC(CO)C(OC4OC(CO)C(OC5OC(CO)C(OC6OC(CO)C(OC7OC(CO)C(OC8OC(CO)C(O)C(O)C8N)C(O)C7N)C(O)C6N)C(O)C5N)C(O)C4N)C(O)C3N)C(O)C2N)C1OStoragestore at <-15?C, close container well, keep dryHarmonized Tariff CodesSwitzerland: 29400090 - USA: 2940006000 - Slovakia: 2940000080 - UK: 2940000080 - China: 2940009090
