AAPharmaSyn has engaged with multiple early-stage projects to help clients develop novel carbohydrate containing therapeutics. We are intimately familiar with the challenges in both synthesis and characterization of novel carbohydrates. We made a material investment of effort and capital in building a superior competence in this field.
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant and ubiquitous class of biomolecules found in all known living organisms either free or covalently linked to other structures, forming glycoproteins, proteoglycans, or glycolipids. Their importance has been widely recognized due to their functional roles in metabolism and energy storage. The important biological roles of carbohydrate-mediated processes are currently pursued as targets of drug development by both public and private entities.
