Description

(2R,3R,4R,5R)-2-Amino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydroxyhexanal is a bacterial translocation inhibitor that is used as an experimental model to study the relationship between mitochondrial membrane potential and enzyme activities. This compound has been shown to be hepatoprotective in experimental models of hepatitis. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi by binding to their cell surface and causing disruption of their cell membranes. (2R,3R,4R,5R)-2-Amino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydroxyhexanal has a protective effect against autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. The substance also has an effect on energy metabolism by increasing ATP content in mammalian cells.
