Pinitol is a cyclitol, a cyclic polyol. It is a known anti-diabetic agent isolated from Sutherlandia frutescens leaves.[1][2] Gall plant tannins can be differentiated by their content of pinitol.[3] It was first identified in the sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana).[4] It is also found in other plants, such as in the pods of the carob tree.[5]

Certain variants of the bacteria Pseudomonas putida have been used in organic synthesis, the first example being the oxidation of benzene, employed by Steven Ley in the synthesis of (±)-pinitol.[6]

Glycosides

[edit]

Ciceritol is a pinitol digalactoside that can be isolated from seeds of chickpea, lentil and white lupin.[7]

A cyclitol derivative can be found in the marine sponge Petrosia sp.[8]

Biosynthesis

[edit]

D-pinitol is the most widely distributed inositol ether in plants.[9] In Angiosperms, D-pinitol has a relatively straight forward and short biosynthesis which proceeds via the Loewus pathway. The precursor to the biosynthesis pathway is glucose-6-phosphate, which is converted to D-ononitol (1-D-4-O-methyl-myo-inositol) via myo-inositol. Ononitol is epimerized to yield D-pinitol via a D-ononitol epimerase using NADPH as a cofactor.[10]
