Description

D-ribose is a pentose that is used in the metabolism of plants and humans. It has been shown to inhibit binding of inhibitors to ribose and to exhibit significant cytotoxicity against tumor cells. D-Ribose also has an important role in energy metabolism, where it is involved in the synthesis of ATP. D-Ribose has been shown to be beneficial for patients with congestive heart failure, as it improves cardiac function and reduces the size of the heart. D-Ribose may also have a role in the treatment of infectious diseases by inhibiting viral replication, as well as preventing neuronal death.
