α-L-Rhamnose monohydrate (6-deoxy-L-mannose monohydrate) is a component of bacterial polysaccharides where it plays an important role in pathogenicity.

Addition of the Rhamnose (6-Deoxy-L-mannose)-rich polysaccharide, RROP-1, to normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) and human endothelial cells produced a dose-dependent stimulation of the calcium-signaling pathway, inducing fast and transient increases in Ca2 influx and intracellular free Ca2 level.

D-Mannose (D-(+)-Mannose) is a carbohydrate. D-Mannose plays an important role in human metabolism, especially in the glycosylation of specific proteins.

L-(-)-Mannose ((2R,3R,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanal) is a naturally occurring non-reducing sugar commonly used as a food additive.

GDP-D-mannose disodium is a natural product for research related to life sciences and the catalog number is T65209.

D-Mannopyranose is a hexose or fermentable monosaccharide and isomer of glucose from manna, the ash Fraxinus ornus and related plants.

D-(+)-Xylose (Wood sugar) is an aldopentose - a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. It has chemical formula C5H10O5 and is 40% as sweet as sucrose. Xylose is also found in mucopolysaccharides of connective tissue and sometimes in the urine. Xylose is the first sugar added to serine or threonine residues during proteoglycan type O-glycosylation. Therefore xylose is involved in the biosythetic pathways of most anionic polysaccharides such as heparan sulphate and chondroitin sulphate. In medicine, xylose is used to test for malabsorption by administering a xylose solution to the patient after fasting. If xylose is detected in the blood and or urine within the next few hours, it has been absorbed by the intestines. Xylose is said to be one of eight sugars which are essential for human nutrition, the others being galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, fucose, and sialic acid. . Xylose in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of apples and other fruits.

(S)-(−)-Perillyl alcohol (Perillyl alcohol), a monoterpene found in lavender, inhibits Ras farnesylation, upregulates the mannose-6-phosphate receptor, induces apoptosis, and exhibits anti-cancer activity.

Concanavalin A is a natural product, a phytoalexin (glycan-binding protein). Concanavalin A has antitumor activity and can also induce acute liver injury.

Xanthan gum, a microbial polysaccharide produced by *Xanthomonas campestris*, has a cellulose backbone of β-(1-4)-linked glucose units with a trisaccharide side chain of mannose-glucuronic acid-mannose attached to every other glucose unit. Some terminal mannose units are pyruvated, and some internal mannose units are acetylated. Due to its unique rheology and gelling properties, it is widely used as a food additive, thickener, and stabilizer in the food and petroleum industries.
