D-(-)-Ribose is mainly used as a very basic source of metabolism of life. It is also used as a precursor for virazole, adenosine, thymidine, cytidine, fluoro-thymidine, 2-methyl adenosine, pyrromonazole toxina and adenosine methionine. It is further used in the synthesis of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), tetra-O-acetyl-ribose and nucleoside. It finds application as food additives and as supplement in cell culture.

D-ribose is a pentose that is used in the metabolism of plants and humans. It has been shown to inhibit binding of inhibitors to ribose and to exhibit significant cytotoxicity against tumor cells. D-Ribose also has an important role in energy metabolism, where it is involved in the synthesis of ATP. D-Ribose has been shown to be beneficial for patients with congestive heart failure, as it improves cardiac function and reduces the size of the heart. D-Ribose may also have a role in the treatment of infectious diseases by inhibiting viral replication, as well as preventing neuronal death.

D-Ribose

D-ribose (Rib) is an aldopentose, a component of RNA and a constituent of numerous cofactors, and certain vitamins. (Collins, 2006). Ribose is a component of bacterial polysaccharides found in Salmonella (Lindberg, 1990). Ribosylation leads to the production of significant amounts of advanced glycation end products, both extracellularly and intracellularly, it may be involved in cell dysfunction and subsequent cognitive impairments (Wei, 2012).
