Chimaphilin is a natural product for research related to life sciences.

Maltononaose is a linear oligosaccharide consisting of 9 glucose units linked by alpha-1, 4-glucoside bonds. Maltononaose is used as a substrate to study the subsites affinity of glucoamylase. Maltononaose can be used to determine the activity of amylase and to optimize the process of starch hydrolysis.

16-anhydro-b-D-Glucose (Levoglucosan) is an anhydrohexose that is the 16-anhydro-derivative of beta-D-glucopyranose. It is formed from the pyrolysis of carbohydrates such as starch and cellulose. Levoglucosan can also be utilized in the synthesis of chiral polymers such as unhydrolysable glucose polymers.
