ADONITOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White powder

Uses

A sugar alcohol formed by the reduction of ribose

Uses

Adonitol is metabolized to teicholic acids used in the cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Adonitol is often compared to other cell permeating molecules such as formamide, propanediol, and DMSO as a cryopreservation agent.

Definition

ChEBI: A ribitol compound having meso-configuration. It occurs naturally in the plant Adonis vernalis.

General Description

Adonitol (Ribitol), a pentose alcohol, is metabolized to teicholic acids used in the cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Adonitol is often compared to other cell permeating molecules such as formamide, propanediol, and DMSO as a cryopreservation agent.
