L-(−)-Arabitol is a naturally-occurring sugar alcohol abundant in plants, fungi, and bacteria. As a five-carbon sugar alcohol derived from the hydrolysis of arabinose, a five-carbon aldose sugar, it plays a significant role as an intermediate in various metabolic pathways. Its versatility makes it valuable for a wide range of research applications. In vitro, L-(−)-Arabitol proves useful for studying the impact of different drugs and agents on cell cultures.
