Glycomix is a European distributor of a growing range of speciality Glycobiology products for Research and Development in the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors.
Marinova Products
Marinova is focussed on developing innovative medical applications from marine plants and is the world's premier producer of fucoidans.
The recent discovery by Marinova of galactofucans containing both galactose and fucose has stimulated even more interest and a number of recent publications for both fucoidan and galactofucan can be seen by clicking here.
A key advantage of the Maritech™ extraction process is the ability to control the chemical properties of fucoidan. Levels of sulphation, for example, are integral to fucoidan bioactivity, and Marinova’s process ensures that the high sulphation of natural fucoidan is maintained.
Another benefit of the process is the ability to control the molecular weight of fucoidan. Marinova can provide low molecular weight fucoidan, standardised to 80% below 30,000 Pa, and high molecular weight fucoidan, standardised to 80% above 200,000 Pa.

Products from GlycoMed Sciences Ltd
GlycoMed has developed processes for the extraction, purification and synthesis of bioactive steroidal glycoalkaloids with novel antitumor properties.
These have attracted much interest from research groups worldwide and a selection of the many publications over the past few years are provided (click here to view publications).
Many plants contain steroidal alkaloids that occur naturally as glycosides and they are most commonly referred to as Solanum alkaloids as the solanum species is the genus from which they were first isolated. Solamargine and Solasonine are the two glycoalkaloids that Glycomed have developed as these have well documented activity towards basal cell carcinoma.
The two glycoalkaloids have a common steroidal aglycone, Solasodine but the carbohydrates differ with Solamargine having the more hydrophobic trisaccharide Chacotriose with two Rhamnose units and Solasonine with the trisaccharide Solatriose with only one Rhamnose moiety.
