Description

1,2-D-chiro-inositol is a natural compound that is a member of the group of inositols. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of beta-secretase and alpha-secretase activity in vitro. 1,2-D-chiro-inositol has also been shown to be an inhibitor of sodium citrate, an important molecule in the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. This property may make it useful as a potential oral hypoglycemic agent. 1,2-D-chiro-inositol is not currently being used for medicinal purposes because it is poorly absorbed by the gut and exhibits low potency. More research needs to be done on this chemical before its use can be considered for medicinal purposes.
