Alloses

D-Allose exhibits antitumor activity against various cancer cells. D-Allose scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduces oxidative stress damage. D-Allose exhibits anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective through inhibition of TLR4/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. D-Allose exhibits antihypertensive, cryoprotective, and anti-osteoporotic activities.

1,2:5,6-Bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-α-D-allofuranose is a derivative of allofuranose. 1,2:5,6-Bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-α-D-allofuranose is an intermediate in the synthesis of carbohydrate compounds.

Allitol (Allodulcitol) is an orally active rare sugar alcohol found in Itea virginica L, Tylopilus plumbeoviolaceus. Allitol has anti-obesity and hypoglycaemic activities. Allitol reduces carcass and total body fat mass, increases cecal weight, surface area, and short-chain fatty acid production, and upregulates cecal microbial enzymes linked to butyrate metabolism. Allitol can be used for the researches of obesity and diabetes.
