Glycerophosphoinositol
Glycerophosphoinositol (CAS: 16824-65-0), also known as 1-(sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol, is produced through deacylation by phospholipase B of the essential phospholipid phosphatidylinositol. Glycerophosphoinositols are ubiquitous phosphoinositide metabolites involved in the control of several cell functions. They exert their actions both intracellularly and by rapidly equilibrating across the plasma membrane. Their transport is mediated by the Glut2 transporter, the human ortholog of GIT1 (PMID: 17141226). Glycerophosphoinositol is a substrate for glycerophosphoinositol inositolphosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.43) and is involved in the following reaction: 1-(sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol + H2O = glycerol + 1D-myo-inositol 1-phosphate. It is also a substrate for glycerophosphoinositol glycerophosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.44) which catalyzes the chemical reaction: 1-(sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol + H2O = myo-inositol + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.

It has a role as a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite. It is a member of cyclohexenones, an enone and a tetrol. It is functionally related to a valiolone. Valienone is a biologically significant compound with the following key biological functions: ### 1. **Biosynthetic Precursor in Drug Synthesis** Valienone serves as a **critical intermediate** in the biosynthesis of β-valienamine and valienamine. These derivatives are potent **β-glycosidase inhibitors**, which are essential for: • **Treating lysosomal storage diseases**: β-valienamine derivatives (e.g., N-octyl-β-valienamine) specifically target β-glycosidase dysfunction, a hallmark of lysosomal storage disorders. • **Diabetes management**: Valienamine is the active component of acarbose, a drug used to control blood glucose levels by inhibiting carbohydrate-digesting enzymes. ### 2. **Enzymatic Substrate in Stereoselective Reactions** Valienone is a substrate for **aminotransferases** (e.g., BtrR from *Bacillus circulans*), which catalyze its conversion to β-valienamine with high stereoselectivity. This reaction involves: • **Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent transamination**: Ensures optical purity of the product (enantiomeric excess value). • **Regulation of enzyme stability and activity**: Molecular dynamics simulations show that β-valienamine enhances the stability of BtrR and optimizes its catalytic tunnel for efficient product release. ### 3. **Role in Microbial Metabolism** Valienone is naturally produced by microbial strains (e.g., *Streptomyces* spp.) as part of the **biosynthetic pathway for aminoglycoside antibiotics** like validamycin A. Its microbial production avoids the challenges of chemical synthesis, such as poor stereospecificity and complex reaction steps. ### 4. **Structural Basis for Drug Design** The **hexacyclic polyol-ketone structure** of valienone provides a scaffold for developing: • **Chiral therapeutics**: Its four stereocenters enable precise interactions with biological targets. • **Enzyme inhibitors**: Modifications to its core structure enhance binding to glycosidases or other enzymes involved in metabolic diseases. ### References : Exploration of Catalytic Selectivity for Aminotransferase (BtrR) Based on Molecular Dynamics (PMC, 2025) : Efficient Synthesis of Valienamine via Directed Evolution of Aminotransferases (*ACS Catal.*, 2022)

While classed as a sugar-alcohol for historical reasons, muco-inositol is more properly described as a sweet-alcohol due its perception as sweet. However, muco-inositol is perceived as both sweet and salty by humans. It is perceived as salty due to its pair of diaxial-trans-hydroxyl pairs. This pair of hydroxyl groups can form a dimer with the diaxial-trans-hydroxyl pair of the hydrated sodium-ion receptor. muco-Inositol is a critically important chemical in the gustatory (taste) process in mammals. It is coupled to a phospholipid of the outer lemma of the sensory neurons associated with the sodium ion sensitive channel (previously known as the "salty" channel) of gustation. muco-Inositol is typically phosphorylated (becoming muco-inositol phosphate) in the process of being attached to a lipid of the outer lemma of the sensory neurons of taste. The final chemical is phosphatidyl muco-inositol (PtdIns). PtdIns occurs in a specialized area of the cilia of the sensory neurons where it exists in a liquid crystalline form.

Chiro-inositol can be found in carob and soy bean, which makes chiro-inositol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Inositol or its phosphates and associated lipids are found in many foods, in particular fruit, especially cantaloupe and oranges. In plants, the hexaphosphate of inositol, phytic acid or its salts, the phytates, serve as phosphate stores in seed, for example in nuts and beans. Phytic acid also occurs in cereals with high bran content. Phytate is, however, not directly bioavailable to humans in the diet, since it is not digestible. Some food preparation techniques partly break down phytates to change this. However, inositol in the form of glycerophospholipids, as found in certain plant-derived substances such as lecithins is well-absorbed and relatively bioavailable . D-chiro-Inositol (also known as 1D-chiro-inositol, abbreviated DCI) is an inositol isoform. Inositol is a derivative of cyclohexane with six hydroxyl groups, making it a polyol. It also is known as a sugar alcohol, having exactly the same molecular formula as glucose or other hexoses.

It is known to be an important secondary messenger in insulin signal transduction. DCI accelerates the dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase and pyruvate dehydrogenase, rate limiting enzymes of non-oxidative and oxidative glucose disposal. DCI may act to bypass defective normal epimerization of myo-inositol to DCI associated with insulin resistance and at least partially restore insulin sensitivity and glucose disposal.
