D-Arabitol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
D-Arabitol is an orally active D-enantiomer of arabitol. D-Arabitol modulates the composition of gut microbiota, increases short-chain fatty acids, and promotes AMPK-PGC-1α-related browning of white adipose tissue. D-Arabitol improves weight gain, fat accumulation, insulin resistance, lipid deposition and inflammatory responses. D-Arabitol serves as the sole carbon/energy source for Bacillus methanolicus MGA3, a strain that can co-utilize it with mannitol. D-Arabitol is applicable to obesity-related research.

Microbial Metabolite |
Human Endogenous Metabolite |
D-arabitol (10-60 mM; duration of growth phase) supports growth of Bacillus methanolicus MGA3 as a sole carbon source with a growth rate of 0.20 h−1 at 15 mM, and is co-consumed with mannitol in equimolar mixtures[2].
D-arabitol (15 mM; growth to mid-exponential phase, OD600 = 1.0) induces significant upregulation of the atlABCD gene cluster in Bacillus methanolicus MGA3, with atlD transcript levels also elevated in co-consumption conditions with mannitol[2].
D-arabitol (30 mM; duration of growth phase) allows heterologous expression of Bacillus methanolicus MGA3 atlD alone, or the full atlABCD gene cluster, to restore growth of arabitol-negative Corynebacterium glutamicum ΔmtlD[2].
D-arabitol (15 mM; growth to mid-exponential phase, OD600 = 1.0) induces elevated arabitol phosphate dehydrogenase activity (0.05 U/mg) in crude cell extracts of Bacillus methanolicus MGA3, with high affinity for xylulose 5-phosphate (Km = 0.03 mM)[2].

Result:Induced significant upregulation of the atlA (log2 fold change = 3.06), atlB (log2 fold change = 3.41), atlC (log2 fold change = 2.73), and atlD (log2 fold change = 2.90) gene cluster when used as a 15 mM sole carbon source compared to 15 mM mannitol.
Showed elevated atlD transcript levels in cells grown on 15 mM D-arabitol plus 15 mM mannitol compared to mannitol alone, as confirmed by qRT-PCR.

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (SD) (male, 180 g)[1]
-
Dosage:4% (dietary supplementation); 8% (dietary supplementation)
-
Administration:dietary supplementation; daily; 10 weeks
-
Result:Significantly reduced HFD-induced body weight gain, liver weight, epididymal fat weight, and Lee's index, with 8% D-Arabitol showing a greater reduction than 4%.
Reduced HFD-induced fasting glucose by 28.17% (8% dose).
Significantly decreased the HOMA-IR index and increased the QUICK index and serum adiponectin levels (both doses).
Dose-dependently reduced serum total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerols (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and hepatic TC and TG, while increasing serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and reducing serum leptin, with 8% D-Arabitol showing more significant lipid-lowering effects than 4%.
Significantly reduced HFD-increased serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and reduced hepatic lipid droplet accumulation (8% dose).
Dose-dependently reduced serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and decreased relative mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in epididymal adipose tissue, while increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) mRNA expression (both doses).
Significantly increased fecal concentrations of propionic acid, butyric acid, isovaleric acid, and total short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) compared to the HFD group (8% dose).
Upregulated relative mRNA expression of white adipose tissue (WAT) browning-related genes PPAR-γ, Cidea, Prdm16, PGC-1α, and UCP-1 in epididymal adipose tissue, and increased protein expression of AMPK, p-AMPK, and PPAR-γ (8% dose).

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.43 mM); Clear solution
