These interactions are important for the cleavage of glucose from crystalline cellulose by D-glucono-1,4-lactone. D-glucono-1,4-lactone has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels in rats with metabolic disorders when administered orally at doses</p>

<p>Atractyloside dipotassium salt is a chemical compound that acts as a potent mitochondrial toxin. It is primarily derived from plant sources, notably from the Atractylis gummifera species. This compound functions by specifically inhibiting the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, thereby obstructing the exchange of ADP and ATP across this membrane. This blockade disrupts ATP synthesis, leading to alterations in cellular bioenergetics and apoptotic pathways.</p>

It is also an oligosaccharide that contains three monosaccharides.<br>Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside can be used in glycosylation or methylation reactions due to its high purity and custom synthesis. This compound can also be used as an Oligosaccharide due to its saccharide composition.</p>

<p>Mannitol is a sugar alcohol occurring widely in plants and they are exudates, for example, in olive and plane trees (Collins, 2006). It is produced commercially by the catalytic hydrogenation of fructose (Zelin, 2019). Mannitol is used extensively in food and pharmaceutical industries because of its unique functional properties. It is about 50% as sweet as sucrose and has a desirable cooling effect often used to mask bitter tastes. Mannitol is non-cariogenic and has a low caloric content. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that is metabolically inert in humans and is used for: the promotion of diuresis before irreversible renal failure becomes established, the promotion of urinary excretion of toxic substances, as an Antiglaucoma agent, and as a renal function diagnostic aid (O’Neil, 2013). Additonally, in 2020, mannitol was approved by the FDA as add-on maintenance therapy for the control of pulmonary symptoms associated with cystic fibrosis in adult patients (McKenna, 2020).</p>

<p>Inhibitor of lysosomal acid β-glucosidase (GlcCerase/glucocerebrosidase) with IC50 in nanomolar range for wildtype and mutant enzyme. It behaves as pharmacological chaperon by binding to instable GlcCerase active site at neutral pH values and facilitating the protein folding. In acidic lysosomes, isofagomine gets release from the enzyme active site. This results in increased levels of functional glucocerebrosidase and brings therapeutic benefits to patients with Gaucher disease.</p>

<p>A beta glycoside with an alkyne handle suitable to click chemistry</p>

<p>Atractyloside is a natural compound that can be extracted from plants. It has been shown to have pluripotent activity, which means it can differentiate into different types of cells. Atractyloside also exhibits antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties, which are believed to be due to its ability to increase mitochondrial membrane potential and reduce reactive oxygen species production. Atractyloside has also been shown to protect against neuronal death in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting the activation of caspase-dependent cell death pathways. Atractyloside has been shown to have a cardioprotective effect in animal models of myocardial infarcts, although it is unclear if this effect is due to the drug or due to the atractyloside contained in traditional Chinese medicine.</p>

It has also shown promise as an anticancer agent. MTATP is a small molecule that inhibits the growth of cancer cells by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase 4B. This enzyme plays a role in the regulation of intracellular signaling pathways and is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. MTATP has been shown to inhibit the activity of this enzyme, preventing cancer cells from proliferating and promoting their differentiation instead.</p>

<p>b-Chloralose is a general anesthetic that is used to induce and maintain anesthesia. It has been shown to decrease the heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure in patients. It also causes a reduction of the glomerular filtration rate and delays the recovery of consciousness. Although b-chloralose has been shown to have negative effects on the cardiovascular system, it can be administered safely in combination with other anesthetics because it does not alter their effects. The use of b-chloralose is limited by its short duration of action and by adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and convulsions.</p>
