Sequoyitol(CAT: R015147) is a naturally occurring cyclitol, chemically known as 5-O-methyl-myo-inositol. It is widely distributed in plants such as Sequoia sempervirens and certain legumes, where it functions as a compatible solute and storage carbohydrate. As a methylated inositol derivative, sequoyitol plays roles in plant stress tolerance, carbohydrate metabolism, and signal transduction. In biomedical research, it has drawn interest for potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties, particularly its possible role in modulating glucose metabolism and oxidative stress. Sequoyitol is also valuable as a phytochemical marker in chemotaxonomic studies and as a reference compound in natural product and pharmacological research.
