Guo, Xiurong;Xin, Guang;He, Shiliang;Wang, Yanyan;Huang, Baozhan;Zhao, Hang;Xing, Zhihua;Chen, Qingming;Huang, Wen;He, Yang published 《Novel organic gelators based on pentose derivatized diosgenyl saponins》 in 2013. The article was appeared in 《Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry》. They have made some progress in their research.HPLC of Formula: 144490-03-9 The article mentions the following:
Much attention has been paid to diosgenin saponins because of their various bioactivities, whereas their gelation ability has never been reported. We synthesized some new saponins with pentose directly connected to diosgenin in a shorter procedure, which neither removed the acetyl group of the anomeric hydroxyl group selectively nor activated it and led to a higher yield, compared with the common synthesis of other diosgenyl saponins. We found these compounds are gelators of various organic solvents and their gel formation was studied with FTIR and SEM. This serendipitous discovery enriches the diversity of steroidal small mol. gelators. Meanwhile, single crystal X-ray anal. gave addnl. information about their intermol. interactions in the solid state. And (2R,3S,4S,5S)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-triyl triacetate (cas: 144490-03-9) was used in the research process.
(2R,3S,4S,5S)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-triyl triacetate(cas:144490-03-9 HPLC of Formula: 144490-03-9) is an isomer of 1,2,3,5-Tetra-O-acetyl β-D-Ribofuranose (T283100) which is used in the synthesis of 3-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2,3-dihydro-6H-1,3-oxazine-2,6-dione, a new pyrimidine nucleoside analog related to uridine.
