L-Fucitol, CAS:13074-06-1

L-????,?L-FucitolL-Fucitol is a sugar that is found in the form of D-arabinose and D-xylitol. It is used in flow systems for the detection of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) glycoproteins and can be used to measure xylitol dehydrogenase activity. L-Fucitol has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria that are resistant to penicillin, ampicillin, and erythromycin. L-Fucitol also inhibits enzymes such as galactocerebrosidase, which breaks down galactocerebroside, a myelin constituent. This inhibition leads to accumulation of galactitol, an inhibitor of oligosaccharide synthesis. L-Fucitol also inhibits enzyme activities such as glycosidases and glycosyltransferases, which affect metabolic profiles by inhibiting the breakdown or synthesis of sugars. L-Fucitol is a monosac.CAS Number13074-06-1Product NameL-FucitolIUPAC Name(2R,3S,4R,5S)-hexane-1,2,3,4,5-pentolMolecular FormulaC6H14O5Molecular Weight166.17 g/molInChIInChI=1S/C6H14O5/c1-3(8)5(10)6(11)4(9)2-7/h3-11H,2H2,1H3/t3-,4+,5+,6-/m0/s1InChI KeySKCKOFZKJLZSFA-KCDKBNATSA-NSMILESCC(C(C(C(CO)O)O)O)OSynonymsfucitolCanonical SMILESCC(C(C(C(CO)O)O)O)OIsomeric SMILESC[C@@H]([C@H]([C@H]([C@@H](CO)O)O)O)OCAS No: 13074-06-1 Synonyms: 6-Deoxy-L-galactitol MDL No: MFCD00083329 Chemical Formula: C6H14O5 Molecular Weight: 166.17
