Valienol
Valienol (streptol) is a C-7 cyclitol similar in structure to valienamine Valienamine is a C-7 aminocyclitol found as a substructure of pseudooligosaccharides such as the antidiabetic drug acarbose and the antibiotic validamycin.

Cyclitol
In organic chemistry, a cyclitol is a cycloalkane containing at least three hydroxyl, each attached to a different ring carbon atom. The general formula for an unsubstituted cyclitol is or where 3 ≤ ''x'' ≤ ''n''. The name is also used for compounds that can be viewed as result of substituting various functional groups for the hydrogen atoms in such a molecule, as well as similar molecules with one or more double bonds in the ring. Cyclitols and their derivatives are some of the compatible solutes which are formed in a plant as a response to salt or water stress. Some cyclitols (e.g. quinic or shikimic acid) are parts of hydrolysable tannins. Isomerism and nomenclature Unsubstituted cyclitols with the same ring size and number of hydroxyls may exist in several structural isomers, depending on the position of the hydroxyls along the ring. For example, cyclohexanetriol exists in three distinct isomers (1,2,3-, 1,2,4-, and 1,3,5-). Furthermore, the hydrogen and the hydroxyl ...

Valienamine
Valienamine is a C-7 aminocyclitol found as a substructure of pseudooligosaccharides such as the antidiabetic drug acarbose and the antibiotic validamycin. It can be found in ''Actinoplanes'' species. It is an intermediate formed by microbial degradation of validamycin Validamycin is an antibiotic and fungicide produced by '' Streptomyces hygroscopicus''. It is used as an inhibitor of trehalase. It is used for the control of sheath blight of rice and damping-off of cucumbers. See also *Ralstonia solanacear ...s.
