Decyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside 860813 (2R,3R,4R,5R,6S)-2-(decyloxy)-6-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol

Decyl α-L-rhamnopyranoside is a sugar-based surfactant widely used to enhance the solubility and stability of hydrophobic molecules. Beyond its role as a surfactant, it reportedly exhibits antioxidant activity and attenuates inflammatory signaling in model systems. Its radical-scavenging capacity and anti-inflammatory profile have prompted exploration as an investigational therapeutic agent in inflammation-related contexts. It supports membrane disruption and mixed-micelle formation, enabling the solubilization and purification of membrane proteins. It is also employed as a formulation aid in liposome or micelle systems to improve dispersion of poorly soluble compounds.
