| Targets |
D-Fructose targets ketohexokinase (KHK), a key enzyme in the fructose metabolism pathway. By selectively targeting KHK, fructose exerts regulatory control over its own metabolic fate, influencing downstream processes. As a natural substrate for KHK, high concentrations of fructose can lead to product inhibition. The compound also exhibits antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. D-Fructose is a monosaccharide involved in cellular energy metabolism.

| Enzyme Assay |
D-Fructose enzyme assays involve measuring ketohexokinase (KHK) activity. KHK activity is assessed by monitoring the phosphorylation of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate using spectrophotometric or coupled enzyme assays. The compound serves as the substrate for these assays. Kinetic parameters such as Km and Vmax are determined. For antiviral assays, VERO-6 cells are infected with SARS-CoV-2 and treated with D-Fructose at varying concentrations to assess inhibition of virus-induced cytotoxicity (IC50 > 19952.62 nM). Assays are performed in appropriate buffer systems with positive controls.
|
| Cell Assay |
D-Fructose cell-based assays are conducted in VERO-6 cells and other cell lines. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO2 and treated with D-Fructose at varying concentrations. For antiviral studies, cells are infected with SARS-CoV-2 and cytotoxicity is assessed by MTT or similar assays. For metabolic studies, cells are treated with fructose and metabolic flux is assessed. Cell viability is assessed by standard assays. Experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate positive and negative controls.
|
| Animal Protocol |
D-Fructose in vivo studies are conducted in animal models for metabolic and antiviral research. Animals are administered D-Fructose via oral administration or injection. For metabolic studies, blood glucose, insulin, and lipid levels are measured. For antiviral studies, animal models of SARS-CoV-2 infection may be used. Dosing regimens are optimized based on pharmacokinetic data. Animals are monitored for clinical signs. Tissues and blood samples are collected for biochemical analysis at study endpoints. Studies are conducted in accordance with institutional animal care guidelines.
