L-Gulose, CAS:6027-89-0

L-Gulose L-Gulose is a carbohydrate that is used in biochemical research. It can be found in plant sources such as sugar cane, sugar beet, and fruit, but it is not naturally present in mammals. L-Gulose has antioxidant properties and can act as an antiviral agent. It also has some structural similarities to vitamin C. L-Gulose can be synthesized from D-glucose by oxidation of the hydroxyl group with sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide. L-Gulose is a structural analog of D-mannitol, which has been shown to have transcriptional regulation activity. L-Gulose has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells and induce apoptosis in vitro by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.Title:?L-GuloseCAS Registry Number:?6027-89-0Molecular Formula:?C6H12O6Molecular Weight:?180.16Percent Composition:?C 40.00%, H 6.71%, O 53.28%Literature References:?Prepd by sodium amalgam reduction of an acid soln of the?g-lactone of?L-gulonic acid: Fischer, Piloty,?Ber.?24,?526 (1891).?See also?van Ekenstein, Blanksma,?Rec.
