Hinweis
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour. Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please visit our frequently asked questions (FAQ) page for more details.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon), or a derivative thereof.

Application Protocols
No tested or validated protocols are provided in the Product Data for this SKU.

Biological Roles
Context for researchers (literature/general):
Kifunensine is a well-established small-molecule tool in glycobiology research, commonly employed to perturb N-linked glycan processing pathways in the secretory pathway. By modulating early mannose trimming steps, investigators can study quality control mechanisms, ER-associated pathways, and glycoprotein folding/trafficking.
Use cases include producing research-grade proteins enriched in high-mannose glycans for analytical method development (e.g., glycoproteomics, endoglycosidase mapping) and for evaluating glycan-dependent interactions in vitro.
In cell culture, transient exposure enables controlled changes to glycan profiles without genetic manipulation, facilitating comparative studies between treated and untreated populations.
Important caveats:
Effects may be cell-type and context dependent; empirical titration and time-course studies are recommended.
Avoid clinical or in vivo extrapolation—this product is for research use only.
Item-specific biological activity parameters (potency, Ki/IC50, selectivity): Not specified for this item; consult primary literature and perform in-system validation.
Buffer Applications
This product is not a buffering reagent. However, it is commonly dosed into buffered biological media in research settings.
Practical notes (general):
Compatible with standard biological buffers (e.g., PBS, HEPES-buffered media) when delivered from a concentrated stock solution.
Ensure complete dissolution before dosing; filter sterilize solutions prepared for cell culture if required by aseptic practice.
Item-specific buffer recipes, pH ranges, or concentrations: Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet and validate in your system.
Green Alternatives
As a solid bioactive compound used at low concentrations, the “greenness” considerations focus on solvent choice and handling rather than replacing the molecule itself.
Greener handling considerations (general):
Prefer water or buffered aqueous media when feasible to avoid organic solvent use.
If organic cosolvent is required, minimize DMSO or alcohol content to the lowest effective percentage.
Prepare higher-concentration stocks to reduce solvent volumes and shipment of dilute solutions.
Comparison of solvent options (general):
Water/buffer: highest EHS profile; compatible with most biochemical assays; confirm stability and solubility.
DMSO: effective solubilizer; use sparingly due to environmental and biological considerations; manage waste appropriately.
Alcohols (EtOH/MeOH): moderate environmental impact; consider flammability and biological effects.
Packaging and storage:
Product is shipped cold and stored at −20°C, minimizing degradation and waste. Maintain desiccation to reduce hygroscopic uptake and preserve shelf life.
Note: There are no “alternative actives” to kifunensine within this listing; selection of different tool compounds should be based on scientific rationale rather than green chemistry alone.

Item-specific application claims from manufacturer: none provided beyond Research Use Only.
Reaction Conditions
This compound is not typically used to drive chemical reactions; instead it is dosed as a solution into biological systems. Consequently, there are no standard “reaction conditions” in the synthetic sense for this SKU.
General solution preparation (research practice):
Solvents: water/buffer or DMSO are commonly used carriers in biochemical/cell-based assays.
Concentrations: prepare concentrated stock solutions suitable for your assay, then dilute into media while keeping any organic cosolvent low. Exact concentrations are assay-dependent and must be empirically determined.
Temperature and light: prepare and store solutions at low temperature when possible; avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperature and light to limit degradation.
Expected yields, catalysts, or time courses (synthetic context): Not applicable.
Item-specific preparation instructions: Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet and SDS.
Safety and Handling
Authoritative safety data must be taken from the product-specific SDS.
GHS classification: Not specified for this item; refer to SDS.

General laboratory precautions (good practice):
PPE: lab coat, safety glasses, and appropriate chemical-resistant gloves.
Engineering controls: handle powders in a fume hood or containment to minimize dust/aerosol; avoid inhalation and contact.
Handling: avoid moisture uptake; kifunensine is a polyhydroxylated amine and may be hygroscopic—keep containers tightly closed and desiccated.
Incompatibilities: strong oxidizers and strong acids/bases may cause degradation; avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperature and light.
First aid (overview; consult SDS): if inhaled—fresh air; if on skin—wash with soap and water; if in eyes—rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; if ingested—rinse mouth, seek advice.

SKU: K274698
Product Name: Kifunensine
CAS: 109944-15-2
CID: 130611

SMILES: Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet.
Molecular Formula: Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet.
Molecular Weight: Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet.
Structural features (literature/general):
Core scaffold: indolizidine (fused bicyclic azabicyclo framework with a bridgehead nitrogen).
Functional groups: multiple secondary alcohols (polyhydroxylated), typically no aromatic rings; overall highly polar neutral amine or hemiaminal character depending on tautomeric form (literature).
Stereochemistry: multiple defined stereocenters across the bicyclic ring system; kifunensine is a single, well-defined stereochemical entity (literature).
2D description in words: a fused five–six membered ring containing one ring nitrogen (indolizidine), bearing several vicinal hydroxyl substituents around the saturated backbone; no extended conjugation.
Kifunensine is generally the end product (a bioactive tool compound) rather than a synthetic intermediate or reagent.
Functional group reactivity (general): Multiple alcohols and a tertiary/secondary amine within a saturated bicyclic system could, in principle, undergo protection/deprotection, acylation, carbamate formation, or salt formation. However, such transformations are typically part of kifunensine’s total synthesis or derivatization studies rather than routine laboratory use.
Named reactions: Not commonly employed as a reagent/catalyst in named organic reactions.
Use in synthesis workflows:
If derivatization is desired for probe development (e.g., attaching reporter tags), strategies often target alcohol functionalization (e.g., carbonate/carbamate linkers) or amine modification with careful retention of stereochemistry (literature/general guidance).
Item-specific synthetic specifications (reactivity, protective group strategies, etc.): Not specified for this item; consult primary literature for total synthesis/derivatization methods.
