D-葡萄糖二酸, D-Glucaric acid

D-Glucaric acid is an organic acid that is naturally found in the body. It is a potent inhibitor of glucose reabsorption in the kidney, which results in lower levels of glucose in the blood. D-Glucaric acid has been shown to have therapeutic effects on congestive heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases by increasing the glomerular filtration rate and reducing sodium retention. This compound also has antioxidant properties and can activate different enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and xanthine oxidase. D-Glucaric acid has been shown to have therapeutic effects on autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or type 1 diabetes mellitus by suppressing inflammatory cytokines.


Glucaric acid is a naturally occurring chemical compound that is found in various fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, apples, and broccoli. It has gained attention in recent years due to its potential use in the treatment and prevention of various diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the definition, background, physical and chemical properties, synthesis and characterization, analytical methods, biological properties, toxicity and safety in scientific experiments, applications in scientific experiments, current state of research, potential implications in various fields of research and industry, limitations, and future directions of glucaric acid research.

Definition and Background

Glucaric acid, also known as saccharic acid, is a six-carbon organic acid that belongs to the family of hexaric acids. It is an important intermediate in the metabolism of carbohydrates and is essential for proper cellular function. Glucaric acid is produced naturally in the liver and is also found in various fruits and vegetables. It was first synthesized in the early 1800s by Jacob Berzelius and has since been the subject of extensive research due to its numerous health benefits.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Glucaric acid is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a melting point of 167-169°C. It has a molecular weight of 210.14 g/mol and a chemical formula of C6H10O8. Glucaric acid is an acidic compound with a pKa value of 3.51 and a pH of approximately 2.5 in water. It is a weak acid that can form salts with various cations, such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

Synthesis and Characterization

Glucaric acid can be synthesized in the laboratory by the oxidation of various carbohydrates, such as glucose and galactose. The primary method of synthesis involves the oxidation of D-glucose using sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite. The resulting product is then purified using a series of recrystallizations to obtain pure glucaric acid.

The characterization of glucaric acid can be done using various analytical techniques, including infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. These techniques are used to identify the chemical structure of glucaric acid and to confirm its purity.
