D-Ribose(CAS:50-69-1)

D-Ribose (CAS: 50-69-1), with the chemical formula C5H10O5, is a naturally occurring pentose monosaccharide present in the cells of all living organisms. It belongs to the aldopentose family and is a core component of ribonucleic acid (RNA). As a structural analog of deoxyribose, which is a key component of DNA, it plays an irreplaceable role in the process of life metabolism. It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder with a slight aromatic odor, high hygroscopicity, easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in non-polar solvents such as ether. It has good stability at room temperature and normal pressure and is not easy to decompose. However, due to its strong hygroscopicity, it needs to be stored in a sealed, light-proof and moisture-proof environment to avoid caking caused by moisture absorption, which affects the use effect. As one of the most basic energy sources for life activities, D-Ribose has become a core functional raw material in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields due to its unique physiological functions and wide application scenarios.

In addition to the effects of energy supplementation and anti-fatigue, D-Ribose also has a significant myocardial protective effect. As one of the most active organs in the human body, the heart has extremely high energy demand. When myocardial ischemia and hypoxia occur, insufficient ATP synthesis will lead to myocardial cell damage. D-Ribose can provide sufficient energy for myocardial cells by promoting ATP regeneration, protect ischemic myocardial tissue, improve heart function, and reduce the risk of myocardial damage. Therefore, it is often used in heart health dietary supplements and pharmaceutical intermediates to help protect cardiovascular health. In addition, D-Ribose can also participate in the regulation of cellular metabolism, maintain the normal physiological functions of cells, and has a certain nourishing effect on skin cells. It can be used as a cosmetic raw material to help improve skin condition and enhance skin vitality.

In terms of application scenarios, D-Ribose is widely used in many fields such as sports nutrition, dietary supplements, medicine and cosmetics. In the field of sports nutrition, it is a core functional raw material for sports drinks, sports protein powders, energy bars and other products. It can quickly supplement the energy consumed during exercise, relieve exercise fatigue, accelerate muscle recovery, and meet the needs of athletes and fitness groups. In the field of dietary supplements, it is mainly used to prepare heart health and anti-fatigue supplements, suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, high-intensity workers and people with weak physical fitness. In the pharmaceutical field, as a pharmaceutical intermediate, it can be used in the research and development of nucleoside drugs, antiviral drugs, etc., to assist in drug research and development and production. In the field of cosmetics, it can be added to skin care products, essences and other products to nourish skin cells, improve dry and dull skin conditions, and enhance the functionality of products.
