Glucose pentaacetate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powde

Uses

D-Glucose pentaacetate was reported to stimulate insulin release in rat pancreatic islets. Only α-D-glucose pentaacetate caused an immediate increase in insulin output. The β-anomer of D-glucose pentaacetate first transiently inhibited insulin release, this initial effect being followed by a secondary rise in secretory rate.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from MeOH, EtOH or three recrystallisations from 95% EtOH. [Wolfrom & Thompson Methods in Carbohydrate Chemistry II 212 1963, Academic Press, Beilstein 17/7 V 318.]
