neo-Inositol

Description:

Neo-Inositol, also known as 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroxycyclohexane, is a cyclic sugar alcohol and a member of the inositol family. It is a stereoisomer of inositol, characterized by its six hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a cyclohexane ring, which contributes to its solubility in water and its role in biological systems. Neo-Inositol is often involved in cellular signaling processes and is considered important in various metabolic pathways. It is non-toxic and generally recognized as safe for consumption. The compound has applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, particularly as a dietary supplement and in formulations aimed at improving metabolic health. Its structural properties allow it to interact with various biological molecules, influencing cellular functions. While it shares similarities with other inositol isomers, neo-inositol has distinct biochemical roles and effects, making it a subject of interest in research related to health and nutrition.

Neo-inositol is a type of inositol that is not found naturally in the body, but can be synthesized. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and have a physiological effect on ovarian cells. Neo-inositol has also been shown to inhibit certain types of cancer cells by interfering with their ability to produce energy. Neo-inositol was also shown to increase levels of cytosolic Ca2+ in a model system, which may contribute to its cytotoxic effects.
