D-Arabinose

D-Arabinose is a monosaccharide. It has been found in the O-specific polysaccharide of LPS in P. maltophilia. D-Arabinose (50 and 100 mM) inhibits S. oralis, F. nucleatum, and P. gingivalis biofilm formation as well as the activity of autoinducer 2, a quorum-sensing molecule involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, in V. harveyi in a reporter assay. It reduces the growth of C. elegans (IC50 = 7.5 mM), an effect that can be reversed by D-ribose or D-fructose, but not D-glucose.CAS Number: 10323-20-3. Synonyms: D-(-)-Arabinose.
