Maltotetraose, also called Amylotetraose, is a maltooligosaccharide consisting of four glucose units linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds and has been found in B. stearothermophilus. It is a normal human oligo saccharide present in plasma, but is elevated in cases of Pompe disease. Maltotetraose (750 μg/ml) inhibits the growth of E. carotovora in a cylinder-agar plate assay but does not affect the growth of several other microorganisms. It also inhibits TNF-α-induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in MOVAS-1 mouse smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) transfected with an ICAM-1 luciferase reporter when used at a concentration of 20 μM. Maltotetraose is also known as Amylotetraose, a-D-Glucopyranosyl-1,4-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-1,4-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-1,4-D-glucopyranose, and O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose.
