L-Gulose

Description:

L-Gulose is a sugar alcohol and an aldohexose, classified as a monosaccharide. It is a stereoisomer of D-gulose, differing in the configuration around specific carbon atoms. L-Gulose is typically found in trace amounts in nature and is not as widely studied as its D counterpart. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. The molecule features six carbon atoms, with hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to several of them, contributing to its hydrophilicity. L-Gulose can participate in various chemical reactions typical of sugars, including oxidation and reduction, and can serve as a substrate for specific enzymes. Its potential applications include use in food science, pharmaceuticals, and as a research tool in carbohydrate chemistry. However, due to its limited availability and less common occurrence, research on L-gulose is not as extensive as that of more prevalent sugars.

Controlled Product

CAS: 6027-89-0

Applications L-Gulose is an aldohexose sugar. L-Gulose very rarely occurs in nature but has been found in archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes. L-Gulose is not fermentable by yeast. L-Gulose also serves as a direct precursor of L-ascorbic acid in plant cells.

L-Gulose

CAS: 6027-89-0

L-Gulose is a carbohydrate that is used in biochemical research. It can be found in plant sources such as sugar cane, sugar beet, and fruit, but it is not naturally present in mammals. L-Gulose has antioxidant properties and can act as an antiviral agent. It also has some structural similarities to vitamin C. L-Gulose can be synthesized from D-glucose by oxidation of the hydroxyl group with sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide. L-Gulose is a structural analog of D-mannitol, which has been shown to have transcriptional regulation activity. L-Gulose has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells and induce apoptosis in vitro by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.
