Uses
L-Quebrachitol is a methoxy analog of inositol that can be isolated from plants. L-Quebrachitol has free-radical scavenging, gastroprotection, anti-platelet aggregation and anti-diabetic activity. L-Quebrachitol promotes osteoblastogenesis by uppregulation of BMP-2, runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2), MAPK (ERK, JNK, p38α), and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway[1][2][3].
