D-Ribose(mixture of isomers)

D-Ribose(mixture of isomers) (D-(-)-Ribose), commonly referred to as simply ribose, is a five-carbon sugar found in all living cells. Ribose is not an essential nutrient because it can be synthesized by almost every tissue in the body from other substances, such as glucose. It is vital for life as a component of DNA, RNA, ATP, ADP, and AMP.

L-(+)-Arabinose selectively inhibits intestinal sucrase in a non-competitive manner, thereby preventing glucose elevation induced by sucrose intake.

Arabinose (DL-Arabinose), also known as (+/-)-arabinose or aloe sugar. Arabinose has been primarily detected in feces. Within the cell, Arabinose is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Arabinose exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Outside of the human body, Arabinose can be found in sweet basil and tamarind.

D-(-)-Arabinose is a reducing sugar useful as a substrate in analysis of arabinose isomerases and synthesis of D-erythroascorbic acid in yeast. It shows strong growth inhibition against the Caenorhabditis elegans with an IC50 of 7.5 mM.

Inexpensive starting material for chiral synthesis.

D-arabinose-13C5 is the 13C labeled compound of D-arabinose. D-arabinose has a CAS number of 10323-20-3. Inexpensive starting material for chiral synthesis.

Ribose 5-phosphate is the intermediate product of the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and the final product of the non-oxidative branch of PPP. Ribose 5-phosphate is used in the synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids.
