CAS 643-10-7

allo-Inositol

Description:

Allo-Inositol, with the CAS number 643-10-7, is a stereoisomer of inositol, a carbohydrate and a member of the vitamin B complex. It is a six-carbon cyclic sugar alcohol, specifically a hexahydroxycyclohexane, characterized by its six hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which contribute to its solubility in water. Allo-Inositol is known for its role in cellular signaling and is involved in various biological processes, including insulin signaling and lipid metabolism. It is often studied for its potential therapeutic effects, particularly in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic disorders. The compound is typically found in trace amounts in various foods, including fruits, beans, and grains. Allo-Inositol is recognized for its stability under normal conditions, although it can undergo oxidation or degradation under extreme conditions. Its structural properties allow it to participate in the formation of phosphoinositides, which are crucial for cell membrane dynamics and signaling pathways.

allo-Inositol

CAS: 643-10-7

Allo-inositol is a naturally occurring molecule that is classified as a vitamin. It is a member of the B-complex group of vitamins and has been shown to inhibit growth of cells in the HL-60 cell line. The optimum concentration for allo-inositol was found to be at 100 μM, with an IC50 value of 67 μM. Allo-inositol also has inhibitory properties against ovarian cancer cells and has been investigated as a potential treatment for ovarian cancer. Allo-inositol can be converted into myo-inositol in mammalian cells and may have anticancer effects through this conversion.
