L-Fucitol is a carbohydrate found in some plant species. It is also a substrate of L-fucose isomerase which catalyzes the aldose–ketose isomerization of L-fucitol. It can be used as a biochemical marker for identifying and quantifying the presence of certain compounds in biological samples. L-Fucitol may act to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes, such as phospholipase A2 and cyclooxygenase-2, as well as modulate the activity of certain hormones, such as glucagon and insulin. In vitro, L-Fucitol can be used to study the effects of various compounds on cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, gene expression, and metabolic pathways.
