Isoprene physiological function

But the most important water-soluble non-isoprene is another carbohydrate called quebrachitol, or 2-0-methyl-L-inositol (see chemical structure in Figure 9.5.7), which can account for more than 1.2% of fresh weight. Its physiological function remains unknown. Quebrachitol can be used as a starting material to synthesize chiral drugs with therapeutic effects for the treatment of cancer, early ageing, diabetes and AIDS. An international patent for the extraction process has therefore been filed by a Malaysian team. ... [Pg.357]
