Description

Inositol is a member of the B-vitamin family and is classified as a sugar alcohol. It has a structural similarity to glucose and can be synthesized by plants, bacteria, and mammals. Inositol is found in high concentrations in the brain and liver. Inositol has been shown to inhibit guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and ryanodine receptor channels in HL-60 cells. It also inhibits cancer cell proliferation and suppresses ovarian activity. Inositol appears to work by binding to the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor on the surface of cells, thereby inhibiting intracellular calcium release from its storage site within the endoplasmic reticulum. The effects of inositol are mediated by dinucleotide phosphate or p-nitrophenyl phosphate.
