Methyl glucoside sesquistearate (CAS 68936-95-8) is a non-ionic carbohydrate based surfactant and emulsifier used in membrane research and in cosmetics and dermatological preparations. This glycolipid has also been explored as a solubilizing agent for controlled drug delivery.

Ascorbyl stearate is a fatty acid ester formed from ascorbic acid and stearic acid. In addition to its use as a source of vitamin C it is used as an antioxidant food additive in margarine. The USDA limits its use to 0.02% individually or in conjunction with other antioxidants.

Sorbitan monostearate also known as Span 60TM is an ester of sorbitan (a sorbitol derivative) and stearic acid and is sometimes referred to as a synthetic wax. It is primarily used as an emulsifier to keep water and oils mixed. Sorbitan monostearate is a non-ionic surfactant with emulsifying dispersing and wetting properties.

Decyl rhamnoside surfactants are suitable for use in cosmetics including in anti-aging creams soaps and other skin or facial treatments. Furthermore these materials may have anti-bacterial anti-zoosporic and anti-fungal properties. Agriculture uses are known as well as bioremediation and enhanced oil recovery projects. Decyl rhamnoside (like many of its natural rhamnose-based derivatives) is a good foaming and wetting agent with the ability to increase the aqueous solubility of hydrophobic compounds making them excellent solubilizing and emulsifying agents for diverse applications.Produced in collaboration with GlycoSurf LLC (glycosurf.com.)

Sphingosine is formed through ceramidase catalyzed hydrolysis of ceramide. It is a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C (IC50 = 1-3 μM). Sphingosine is phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase to the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate. Powered by Bioz See more details on Bioz

Sphingosine-biotin is an alkyl-labeled sphingosine synthesized with the natural erythro stereochemistry that maintains its natural properties.Sphingosine is formed through ceramidase catalyzed hydrolysis of ceramide. It is a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C (IC50 = 1-3 μM). Sphingosine is phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase to the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate. Labeled sphingosines can be phosphorylated by sphingosine kinases (1 & 2) and can be used in high throughput screening applications. In addition they induce a Nieman Pick type C1 disease cellular phenoype in RAW macrophages in the same manner as exogenously added sphingosine.

Sphinganine-biotin is a biotin conjugated sphinganine that can be used for binding streptavidin coated surfaces.Sphinganine (or Dihydrosphingosine) is an intermediate in the sphingolipid biosynthetic pathway. It is formed by the reduction of 3-Ketodihydrosphingosine Reductase (KDHR). Sphinganine is then acylated by Dihydroceramide synthase but can also act as a substrate for sphingosine kinases. Sphinganine can also inhibit Protein kinase C. Sphinganine-biotin is labeled at the terminal position and can be used for binding streptavidin coated surfaces.
