L-Ribose is a rare, essentially non-natural pentose sugar and the enantiomer of D-ribose; unlike D-ribose, it plays no role in cellular energy metabolism. It is mainly used as a chiral building block for synthesizing L-nucleoside analogues, including antiviral drugs. CAS 24259-59-4, molecular formula C5H10O5, molecular weight 150.13 g/mol. Stored at ambient conditions with no signal word classification. Molekula supplies L-Ribose from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
This substance is available from Molekula on enquiry. Full specification, Safety Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis documentation are provided with your quotation once our team confirms the grade and pack size you need.
