CAS 23261-20-3: Dianhydrogalactitol

Description: Dianhydrogalactitol is a synthetic sugar alcohol with the chemical formula C6H10O5, primarily known for its role in medical applications, particularly in cancer treatment. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits a sweet taste. The compound is a derivative of galactitol and is characterized by the presence of two anhydro sugar units, which contribute to its unique chemical properties. Dianhydrogalactitol functions as a radiation sensitizer, enhancing the effectiveness of radiation therapy in certain types of tumors. Its mechanism of action involves the formation of free radicals upon irradiation, which can lead to increased cellular damage in cancerous tissues. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects and its ability to modulate cellular responses. Due to its specific structure and biological activity, dianhydrogalactitol is of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of targeted therapies for cancer. Safety and efficacy profiles are continually evaluated in clinical settings to optimize its therapeutic use.
