Fucoses

(-)-Fucose is classified as a member of the hexoses, plays a role in A and B blood group antigen substructure determination, selectin-mediated leukocyte-endothelial adhesion, and host-microbe interactions. (-)-Fucose is orally active, inhibits CL11-induced inflammatory response in kidney and tumor growth.

D-(+)-Fucose is a nonmetabolizable analogue of l-arabinose. D-(+)-Fucose prevents growth of Escherichia coli B/r on a mineral salts medium plus l-arabinose by inhibiting induction of the l-arabinose operon. D-fucose is a potent inducer of beta-methylgalactoside permease (MGP).

Methyl α-L-fucopyranoside (Methyl alpha-L-fucopyranoside) is a fucopyranoside derivative with weak phagostimulatory activity against Spodoptera litura larvae. Methyl α-L-fucopyranoside serves as a starting material for the synthesis of isomeric methyl α-L-fucopyranoside sulfates. Methyl α-L-fucopyranoside shows potential for use in pest control-related research.
