Increased salt and drought tolerance by D-pinitol production in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2018
D-ononitol epimerase (OEP) catalyzes the conversion of D-ononitol to D-pinitol, which is the last step in the biosynthetic pathway, where myo-inositol is converted to pinitol in higher plants. In this study, OEP cDNA was isolated from Glycine max (GmOEP) and was functionally characterized, which confirmed that GmOEP expression was induced by high ...

GC–MS analysis of D-pinitol in carob: Syrup and fruit (flesh and seed)

Journal of Chromatography B, 2019
D-pinitol (3-O-methyl-D-chiro-inositol) is a well-known bioactive compound with anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant biological functions. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed for its quantitation in carob syrup, flesh and seed samples originated from Cyprus.

The Effects of Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation With and Without D-Pinitol on Resistance Training Adaptations

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2009
Coingestion of D-pinitol with creatine (CR) has been reported to enhance creatine uptake. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether adding D-pinitol to CR affects training adaptations, body composition, whole-body creatine retention, and/or blood safety markers when compared to CR ingestion alone after 4 weeks of resistance training.

D-pinitol attenuates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats: Impact on pro-inflammatory cytokines

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2018
Cisplatin has been widely used as a first-line agent against various forms of solid cancers. However, nephrotoxicity is the major limiting factor for its clinical use. Several clinical and pre-clinical studies have suggested different strategies for the reduction of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Simple partial purification of d‐pinitol from soybean leaves

Crop Science, 2001
There is growing interest in the use of D‐pinitol (D‐3‐O‐methyl‐chiro‐inositol) as a food supplement because of its reported efficacy in lowering blood glucose levels. Pinitol is a common constituent of legume plants and is a major component of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] leaves. The objective of the studies was to identify a combination of simple

Development and validation of a gas chromatographic method for the quantification of D-pinitol in decoctions of Desmodium adscendens

Phytochemistry Letters, 2014
Abstract A decoction of the leaves and stems of Desmodium adscendens (Fabaceae), a herb occurring in Africa and South America, is used in traditional medicine. Previous phytochemical research revealed that flavonoids, soyasaponins, β-phenylethylamines, and an indol-3-alkylamine were present.

d-Pinitol in Fabaceae: an Oviposition Stimulant for the Common Grass Yellow Butterfly, Eurema mandarina

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2016
The common grass yellow butterfly, Eurema mandarina (formerly Eurema hecabe mandarina) (Lepidoptera, Pieridae), recently has been separated taxonomically from a subtropical population of Eurema hecabe in Japan. This species is widely distributed in the temperate region of Japan, and feeds mainly on various ligneous plants within the Fabaceae.
