Carbohydrates

With no experience in carbohydrates, DSK started its journey by serving its carbohydrates clients from the inception of the Company. Since then, DSK had carefully carved a niche expertise in manufacturing protected monomers of various sugar units such as Glucose, Mannose, Galactose, Rhamnose, Ribose, Fucose, Glucosamine and Galactosamine.

During the course of building the expertise in carbohydrates, our chemistry team developed capabilities in glycosylations, thioglycosides, protection and deprotection reactions to synthesize advanced/modified sugar building blocks thereby making DSK as one of the very few CROs with strong manufacturing capabilities in this area. One of the notable achievements in the recent past include the synthesis of protected disaccharides and trisaccharides in several kg scales involving multi-step synthetic routes.

The company has successfully delivered over 300 projects ranging from 1 g to several kilos of compounds involving 4-20 synthetic steps. We have an excellent inventory of commonly used key starting materials to initiate the synthesis as soon as the project is awarded.
