Abstract:We introduce rare sugars including their derivatives and supramolecular rare sugars, that have been actively researched at Kagawa University, Japan. Although the rare sugars are special sugars which hardly exist in nature, we has succeeded in mass synthesis of the rare sugars by utilizing biological enzyme isomerization reaction. In addition, the rare sugars have various functions such as blood sugar level suppressing function, cancer cell growth suppressing function, and antibacterial action. In addition, sin… Show more
