L-Iditol, also referred to as L-idit or D-dulcitol, falls under the category of sugar alcohols, which are organic compounds. Sugar alcohols are carbohydrate derivatives where the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. L-Iditol is present across all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. L-iditol is specifically the L-enantiomer of iditol and serves as a fungal and human metabolite. It should be noted that L-iditol is the mirror image or enantiomer of D-iditol, which has distinct chemical properties. This information highlights the multifaceted nature of L-Iditol and its prevalence in biological systems.
