Product Information
- 6-Deoxy-5-C-methyl-4-O-methyl-D-lyxo-hexose
(-)-D-Noviose is a naturally occurring sulfoxide that was first isolated from the tubercles of tuberculosis patients. It is a biosynthetic precursor to tiacumicin, an antibacterial agent. In addition, (-)-D-Noviose has been shown to act as a chaperone and inhibit cancer cells in vitro. (-)-D-Noviose binds to the cysteine residues of proteins, preventing their oxidation and subsequent aggregation. This prevents the cross-linking of proteins that leads to cellular damage and death.
