Galactosyllactose attenuated NF-κB inflammatory signaling in human intestinal epithelial cells and in human immature intestine. Thus, galactosyllactoses are strong anti-inflammatory agents in human colostrum and early milk, contributing to innate immune modulation. The potential clinical utility of galactosyllactose warrants investigation.

2,3,4-Tri-O-acetyl-a-D-xylopyranosyl bromide - Stabilised with 2.5% CaCO3 is a chiral compound that is a drug for the treatment of estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women. It is synthesized from D-xylose and acetone by reductive elimination using an organotin catalyst. The resulting product has a nitro group at the 4 position and can be activated as a priming agent for DNA synthesis. This compound has been shown to be effective in treating intestinal disorders such as ulcerative colitis.
2,3,4-Tri-O-acetyl-a-D-xylopyranosyl bromide - Stabilised with 2.5% CaCO3 has been used to conjugate estrogens with various drugs to create new compounds that are more potent than free estrogens alone. Bioavailability of these conjugates has

Psyllium seed gum comes from plants of the Plantago genus and is cultivated mainly in the Mediterranian and in India. Psyllium has been used for many years medical applications and more recently there has been a resurgency of interest because it has been seen as a soluble dietary fibre. The proposed structure is of a backbone of D-xylopyranosyl units linked (1,4) and (1,3) with the 4-linked units bearing side chains. The side chains consist of α-L-arabinofuranosyl units linked (1,3) and (1,2) and β-D-xylopyranosyl units linked (1,3) and (1,2) and the α-D-GalAρ-(1,2)-α-L-Rhaρ aldobiuronic acid units linked (1,2) to the main chain.
