Beschreibung

D-Glucal is a protonated d-glucal, which is a simple sugar. It reacts with the electron acceptor oxygen to form an oxidized product. This product can be reduced back to the original molecule by using a reducing agent, such as sodium borohydride or sodium dithionite. D-Glucal has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells in mice that are resistant to other anticancer drugs. D-Glucal inhibits transcription and replication of DNA by binding to the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and blocking its ability to transcribe messenger RNA (mRNA). The enzyme is also inhibited by glycosidic bond architectures that prevent it from binding to the DNA template strand. D-Glucal also has an effect on protein synthesis because it binds to proteins and prevents them from performing their normal functions.
D-Glucal has been used as a model system for studying cellular processes in mammalian cells, such as oxidation
