L-Rhamnose, a natural product isolated and purified from the flowers of Scphora japonica L., increases serum propionate after long-term supplementation, but lactulose does not raise serum acetate, has anticancer potential, they exert a significant suppressive effect on tumour growth, and exhibits potent excellent sodium-glucose transporter (SGLT1 and SGLT2) inhibition activity.
L-Rhamnose monohydrate (Rhamnose monohydrate) is a monosaccharide found in plants and bacteria. Rhamnose monohydrate-conjugated immunogens is used in immunotherapies[3]. Rhamnose monohydrate crosses the epithelia via the transcellular pathway and acts as a marker of intestinal absorption[4]. The main monosaccharides found in RHWPs were mannose, ribose, l-rhamnose monohydrate, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose, and fucose. RHWPs inhibited the proliferation of S180 tumor cells and induced apoptosis in vitro. Oral administration of RHWPs to tumor-bearing mice significantly inhibited the growth of the S180 xenografts, accelerated apoptosis in tumor cells, and expanded the necrotic regions. Furthermore, RHWPs also markedly increased the levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-2 in the sera of tumor-bearing mice, and activated immune cells such as lymphocytes, NK cells, and macrophages, thereby inducing tumor cell apoptosis[5]. L-rhamnose treatment in 3T3-L1 adipocytes also significantly elevated protein levels of p-HSL, p-AMPK, ACOX, and CPT1 as well as reduced levels of ACC, FAS, C/EBPα, and PPARγ, suggesting its possible role in enhancement of lipolysis and lipid catabolism as well as reduced adipogenesis and lipogenesis, respectively[6].
