D-threo-2-Pentulose,1-deoxy-

Description:

D-threo-2-Pentulose, 1-deoxy- is a sugar alcohol that belongs to the class of pentoses, which are five-carbon sugars. This compound is characterized by its specific stereochemistry, indicated by the "D-threo" designation, which refers to the arrangement of hydroxyl groups around the chiral centers in the molecule. As a 1-deoxy sugar, it lacks a hydroxyl group at the first carbon, which distinguishes it from other pentoses. D-threo-2-Pentulose is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, making it relevant in various biochemical applications. Its structure allows it to participate in metabolic pathways, particularly in the context of carbohydrate metabolism. The compound may also exhibit reducing properties due to the presence of the aldehyde functional group in its open-chain form. Overall, D-threo-2-Pentulose, 1-deoxy- is of interest in both research and industrial applications, particularly in the fields of biochemistry and pharmaceuticals.

1-Deoxy-D-xylulose - Aqueous solution

CAS: 60299-43-6

1-Deoxy-D-xylulose is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme xylulokinase, which catalyses the first step in the metabolism of D-xylulose to form 5-phosphate. This prevents the conversion of D-xylulose to xylitol and inhibits body formation. The 1-deoxy--D-xylulose molecule has been shown to bind selectively to sodium citrate by x-ray diffraction data. Sodium citrate is an antimicrobial agent used for food preservation and as a preservative in pharmaceuticals. It also has been shown to control enzyme activities that are involved in infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and leprosy.
1-Deoxy--D--xylulose is one of many high purity steviol glycosides that have been identified as potential drug targets for inhibiting body formation or growth.
