D-(+)-chiro-Inositol
D-(+)-chiro-Inositol (CAS: 643-12-9; C6H12O6; MW: 180.16 g/mol) is a naturally occurring cyclitol. It is employed in metabolic research, particularly in the study of insulin mediators and the modulation of glycolysis. Inositols are resistant to enzymatic degradation in vivo due to their lack of a hydrolysable glycosidic bond, making them valuable tools in biochemical investigations.
