• Description: 5-Ketomannose is a catalytic α-d-mannopyranoside that is used as a glycosidase inhibitor. It binds to the active site of glycosidases, blocking their activity and inhibiting the breakdown of carbohydrates. 5-Ketomannose has been shown to inhibit the action of a number of enzyme types, including glycosidases, glycoprocessing enzymes, and catalytic hydrogenation. This compound also inhibits deoxymannojirimycin, which is an inhibitor of glycosidase. 5-Ketomannose has anti-inflammatory effects and may be useful for treatment in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or ulcerative colitis.
