(-)-vibo-Quercitol is a deoxyinositol (1L-1,2,4/3,5-cyclohexanepentol) that occurs naturally in low concentrations in oak species, honeydew honey, and Gymnema sylvestre. The author's research group recently reported that (-)-vibo-quercitol and scyllo-quercitol (2-deoxy-myo-inositol, 1,3,5/2,4-cyclohexanepentol), a stereoisomer of (-)-vibo-quercitol, are stereoselectively synthesized from 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose by the reductive reaction of a novel (-)-vibo-quercitol 1-dehydrogenase in Burkholderia terrae and of a known scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase in Bacillus subtilis, respectively. The author's research group therefore identified two enzymes capable of producing both stereoisomers of deoxyinositols, which are rare in nature. (-)-vibo-Quercitol and scyllo-quercitol are potential intermediates for pharmaceuticals. In this review, the author describes the biosynthesis and enzymatic production of quercitols and myo-inositol stereoisomers and their application in the production of potential pharmaceuticals.
