Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Gulonolactone
DescriptionL-Gulonolactone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. L-Gulonolactone exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on L-Gulonolactone.
