Description:L-Fucitol is a sugar that is found in the form of D-arabinose and D-xylitol. It is used in flow systems for the detection of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) glycoproteins and can be used to measure xylitol dehydrogenase activity. L-Fucitol has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria that are resistant to penicillin, ampicillin, and erythromycin. L-Fucitol also inhibits enzymes such as galactocerebrosidase, which breaks down galactocerebroside, a myelin constituent. This inhibition leads to accumulation of galactitol, an inhibitor of oligosaccharide synthesis. L-Fucitol also inhibits enzyme activities such as glycosidases and glycosyltransferases, which affect metabolic profiles by inhibiting the breakdown or synthesis of sugars. L-Fucitol is a monosac
