Application of trehalose in medical field

648/5000 
Trehalose has a protective effect on organisms and can be used as a protective agent for biological products. This paper introduces the application of trehalose in medical field.

Trehalose is a kind of storage carbohydrate, which can stabilize the structure of cell membrane and protein under harsh environmental conditions such as high temperature, high cold, high osmotic pressure and dehydration, and effectively protect the invariant deactivation of cell membrane and protein molecules, thus maintaining the life process and biological characteristics of living organisms. And other sugar such as sucrose, glucose in nature, all do not have this one function. This unique features that trehalose in addition can be used as a protein, enzyme, vaccines and other biological products excellent activity of protectant, or keep the cell activity, moisturizing cosmetics important component, prevent more can be used as food deterioration to keep the food fresh flavor and unique food ingredients to improve the quality of food, expand the trehalose as a function of natural edible sweet candy.

Research and application of trehalose

Trehalose can be used as energy storage substance, and its many excellent qualities and properties make it widely used in food, health care products, medicine, cosmetics, agriculture and other aspects.

Medical applications

​

The application of trehalose in the field of medicine is mainly as a reagent and a stabilizer of diagnostic drugs. For example, it can be used for the storage of transplanted QI official. Excitsu, biological agents, kang-biotin, vitamins, enzymes and a variety of volatile substances stabilizer; It can also be used for toothpaste, internal medicine, sugar-coated tablets, etc., as a sweetener, quality improver and stabilizer. Trehalose can prevent the destruction of T lymphocyte by HIV, and has the effects of lowering blood sugar and protecting liver, etc., and can also be made into derivatives for anti-AI agents and anti-swelling Liu agents. Trehalose can be used to preserve biological reagents for research, such as various enzymes, organelles, antibodies, etc., to make life science research simpler and more effective.

Application in medical device field

In addition to the medical field, trehalose is also widely used in the field of medical devices, mostly used in the field of surgery, to protect the skin, blood and Qi officer, but also for Qi officer transplantation and reproductive engineering to provide a strong guarantee.
