Sequoyitol (5-O-Methyl-myo-inositol; Sequoia alcohol) is a naturally occuring and extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) isolated from plants with an antidiabetic property. Sequoyitol (5-O-Methyl-myo-inositol) is an insulin sensitizer that decreases blood glucose, improves glucose intolerance, and is used to treat diabetes. Sequoyitol may similarly protect β-cells from oxidative injury by acting as an antioxidant. Both oral and subcutaneous administrations of sequoyitol improve hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance in both ob/ob and STZ-treated mice.
