Description

Schizophyllan

Schizophyllan is a high-purity, water-soluble beta-glucan polysaccharide used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical applications for its immunomodulatory and bioactive properties. Derived from the fungus Schizophyllum commune, it supports immune system function, cellular response, and therapeutic applications in oncology and vaccine development. Schizophyllan
• is a water-soluble beta-glucan with immunomodulatory activity
• is used in oral, injectable, and topical formulations
• Enhances innate and adaptive immune responses
• is suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical applications
• is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Schizophyllan is chemically a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide composed of Glucose units linked by beta-1,3 and beta-1,6 glycosidic bonds. It appears as a white to off-white powder, readily dispersible in water, forming viscous solutions or gels suitable for a range of formulations.
In pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, Schizophyllan is used in:
• Oral supplements to support immune function and general wellness
• Injectable formulations as an immunostimulant adjuvant in oncology or vaccine therapies
• Topical gels and creams for wound healing and dermatological applications
• Research and clinical studies evaluating immune system modulation
• Biopolymer matrices for drug delivery and tissue engineering
Schizophyllan activates macrophages, natural killer cells, and T-cells, promoting cytokine production and enhanced immune surveillance. Its biocompatibility and low toxicity make it suitable for both therapeutic and prophylactic applications.
CarboMer supplies Schizophyllan with control over molecular weight, viscosity, purity, and microbial content. The material is suitable for research, clinical, and commercial-scale applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation—including CoA and SDS—are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR, NMR), molecular weight, polysaccharide content, solubility, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer bioactive polysaccharides, Schizophyllan is supported by formulation guidance, regulatory expertise, and reliable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and compliant pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
