CAS 527-50-4

L-threo-2-Pentulose

Description:

L-threo-2-Pentulose, with the CAS number 527-50-4, is a monosaccharide and a type of pentose sugar. It is characterized by its five-carbon structure, which includes an aldehyde functional group, making it an aldopentose. The "L-threo" designation indicates the specific stereochemistry of the molecule, which is important for its biological activity and interactions. This sugar is typically found in certain metabolic pathways and can participate in various biochemical reactions. L-threo-2-Pentulose is soluble in water, reflecting the general solubility of sugars due to their hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Its role in biological systems may include serving as an intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism. Additionally, like other pentoses, it can exist in both linear and cyclic forms, with the cyclic form being more prevalent in solution. Understanding its properties is essential for applications in biochemistry and related fields, particularly in the study of carbohydrate metabolism and enzymatic reactions.

L-Xylulose, 1.0 M aqueous solution

CAS: 527-50-4

L-Xylulose is a pentose sugar that can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of l-xylitol and arabinitol. L-Xylulose is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, which produces ribose 5-phosphate and NADPH. L-Xylulose has been shown to have anticancer activity by inhibiting polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) in cancerous tissues. This effect has been attributed to its ability to reduce the levels of dNTPs, which are required for DNA replication. L-Xylulose also inhibits aerobic respiration, which may be due to its ability to inhibit enzymatic activity of both ribitol dehydrogenase and l-arabinitol dehydrogenase.
