GlycoNet is pleased to announce a collaboration with CordenPharma International<\/a> on a library of oligosaccharides.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted that CordenPharma International will be partnering with GlycoNet by providing a collection of complex oligosaccharides for use in our Glycan Screening Core Service,\u201d said GlycoNet Scientific Director Todd Lowary. \u201cThis contribution will substantially enhance our collection by adding a range of mammalian and microbial glycans, which will greatly facilitate the identification of ligands for carbohydrate-binding proteins relevant to the Network\u2019s funded research programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

CordenPharma is a Contract Manufacturing Organization that was founded in 2006 with eight facilities throughout the US and Europe. It partners with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies by equipping them with synthetic carbohydrates, glycolipids and glycopeptides.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe collaboration with GlycoNet represents an important step in CordenPharma\u2019s goal of becoming the recognized world leader in the manufacture of synthetic complex carbohydrates, including GMP and commercial production,\u201d said Head of Operations US Stewart Campbell.\u00a0\u201cThe brain trust and capabilities encompassed by GlycoNet will only enhance the already world-renowned Canadian carbohydrate research community and CordenPharma is proud to have the opportunity to participate in this worthwhile effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

The library of carbohydrates is an important contribution to the work of GlycoNet\u2019s 25 funded research projects. It will include dozens of compounds covering a variety of carbohydrate classes including:<\/p>\n

Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) <\/strong>from the heparin\/heparan sulfate class ranging from di- to octasaccharides in size and with a variety of defined sulfation patterns.<\/p>\n

Mammalian oligosaccharides (non-GAG)<\/strong>\u00a0 (mono- to nonasaccharides) from the high-mannose class and the milk oligosaccharides class (LNFP-III, LnNT).<\/p>\n

Microbe-related oligosaccharides<\/strong> based on known microbial polysaccharides, including Meningococcus B, Group A Streptococcus (hexa- and dodecasaccharides), poly-N-acetyl-glucosamines, Leishmania variable cap regions, and beta-glucans.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
