Mannoheptulose, also known as D-manno-heptulose, is a rare sugar found in some plants. It is a ketoheptose, meaning it has a seven-carbon backbone and a ketone functional group. It is a potent inhibitor of various enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, including aldolase, transketolase, and hexokinase. These inhibitory properties have led to its investigation as a potential therapeutic agent for conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Mannoheptulose is also being studied for its potential to enhance insulin sensitivity and improve glucose tolerance. Its synthesis can be achieved through various methods, including the oxidation of D-mannitol or the isomerization of D-glucoheptulose. Further research is needed to fully understand its biological roles and therapeutic potential.'
