Product Information

• Name: 4-O-(β-D-Mannopyranosyl)-D-glucose
• Synonyms: Man-β-1,4-Glc
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-O-(b-D-Mannopyranosyl)-D-glucose is a metabolite of D-mannose. It is a bacterial metabolite produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae that has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. 4-O-(b-D-Mannopyranosyl)-D-glucose inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription and replication. The high frequency of human activity has been shown using a patch clamp technique on human erythrocytes. This active form is metabolized through a number of metabolic transformations, including hydrolysis by esterases or glucuronidases, oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes, reduction by glutathione reductase, or conjugation with glucuronic acid. Rifapentine also specifically binds to markers expressed at high levels in Mycobacter
