N3-trehalose

N3-trehalose/N3 modified trehalose/Azide-trehalose refers to a compound where the azide group (N3) is attached to trehalose, a natural disaccharide sugar. Azide-functionalized compounds like N3-trehalose are commonly used in bioorthogonal chemistry, a field dedicated to designing chemical reactions that can occur selectively in living organisms without interfering with native biochemical processes. In this context, N3-trehalose can serve as a versatile tool for labeling biomolecules, studying biological processes, and developing targeted drug delivery systems.

Through click chemistry reactions, azide-modified trehalose can be conjugated with other molecules bearing complementary alkyne or strained alkyne groups, allowing for precise and selective labeling of biological targets. This strategy enables researchers to track, manipulate, and study various biomolecular interactions in complex biological systems with high specificity and efficiency.
