D-Myo-Inositol-Hexasulphate

D-Myo-Inositol-Hexasulphate is a synthetic, highly sulfated derivative of myo-inositol, structurally related to inositol phosphates such as inositol hexaphosphate (IP6/phytic acid). It is a small molecule with the formula C6H12O24S6 and a molecular weight of approximately 660.5 g/mol[3][6]. While naturally occurring in plants and mammalian cells as phosphorylated forms (notably IP6), the sulfated form is primarily experimental. The compound acts as a strong chelator of minerals and may influence cellular signaling pathways by mimicking or interfering with endogenous inositols. There are no approved therapeutic indications for this compound; it has not advanced beyond experimental status[3]. Its mechanism of action likely involves modulation of cellular processes through interaction with proteins that bind poly-anionic molecules, but specific pharmacological targets have not been established.
