1-Deoxy-D-xylulose1-Deoxy-D-xylulose is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme xylulokinase, which catalyses the first step in the metabolism of D-xylulose to form 5-phosphate. This prevents the conversion of D-xylulose to xylitol and inhibits body formation. The 1-deoxy–D-xylulose molecule has been shown to bind selectively to sodium citrate by x-ray diffraction data. Sodium citrate is an antimicrobial agent used for food preservation and as a preservative in pharmaceuticals. It also has been shown to control enzyme activities that are involved in infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and leprosy. 1-Deoxy–D–xylulose is one of many high purity steviol glycosides that have been identified as potential drug targets for inhibiting body formation or growth.CAS Number60299-43-6Product Name1-deoxy-D-xyluloseIUPAC Name(3S,4R)-3,4,5-trihydroxypentan-2-oneMolecular FormulaC5H10O4Molecular Weight134.13 g/molInChIInChI=1S/C5H10O4/c1-3(7)5(9)4(8)2-6/h4-6,8-9H,2H2,1H3/t4-,5-/m1/s1InChI KeyIGUZJYCAXLYZEE-RFZPGFLSSA-NSMILESCC(=O)C(C(CO)O)OSynonyms1-Deoxy-D-threo-2-pentulose; 1-Deoxy-D-threo-pentulose; 1-Deoxy-D-xylulose; D-1-DeoxyxyluloseCanonical SMILESCC(=O)C(C(CO)O)OIsomeric SMILESCC(=O)[C@H]([C@@H](CO)O)O
