Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Fructofuranose
DescriptionD-Fructofuranose is a monosaccharide belonging to the class of carbohydrates. It features a five-membered furanose ring structure, which is a characteristic form of fructose. This compound is involved in various biochemical pathways, including the metabolism of inulin, a β-2,1-linked D-fructofuranose polymer that terminates with a glucose residue (PMID:40517858 ). D-Fructofuranose derivatives, such as 1,6-dilauroyl-D-fructofuranose, have been shown to exhibit protective effects against lipopolysaccharide-induced septic acute kidney injury by inhibiting caspase 1-mediated pyroptosis (PMID:39632381 ). Additionally, this compound can scavenge reactive oxygen species like H2O2 and has a higher binding affinity to lipopolysaccharides compared to other sugars (PMID:39632381 ). D-Fructofuranose also plays a role in the interaction with human serum albumin, influencing various sugar forms (PMID:38180053 ). Its derivatives are utilized in innovative applications, such as improving nutrition through enzymatic processes (PMID:38180053 ). Furthermore, D-fructofuranose is identified in seed extracts alongside other compounds, highlighting its prevalence in natural sources (PMID:37803777 ).
