Description

Sorbitol, also known as D-glucitol or L-gulitol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of sugars in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone from the reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Sorbitol is a polyhydric alcohol with about half the sweetness of sucrose. Sorbitol occurs naturally in many plants and plant products and is also produced synthetically from glucose. As an industrial chemical, sorbitol is used in the manufacturing of sorbose, propylene glycol and ascorbic acid. It is also used as a plasticizer and stabilizer for vinyl resins, urethane resins and for other rigid foams. Sorbitol also has some pharmaceutical utility. It was formerly used as a diuretic and may still be used as a laxative and in irrigating solutions for some surgical procedures. Sorbitol is also used as a pharmaceutical or cosmetic aid. Sorbitol is used in solution form for moisture-conditioning of cosmetic creams and lotions, toothpaste, gelatins and liquid pharmaceuticals. As a food additive sorbitol functions as a sweetener, humectant, emulsifier, thickener and anticaking agent. Sorbitol is also used as a softener for candy as it acts as a sugar crystallization inhibitor (Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary). As a research chemical, sorbitol is used in photometric determination of Ru (VI) and Ru(VIII) and in acid-base titration of borate (Dictionary of Organic Compounds). Sorbitol occurs widely in nature and is found in simple plants such as algae to higher order plants. Fruits of the plant family Rosacea, which include apples, pears, cherries, apricots, contain appreciable amounts of sorbitol. Particularly rich sources of sorbitol are the fruits of the Sorbus and Crataegus species.

Descriptor	ID	Definition	Reference
Anti-diabetic	52217	An agent that regulates blood sugar levels, enhancing insulin sensitivity or secretion. Therapeutically, it's used to manage diabetes, reducing symptoms and complications, and commonly prescribed to treat type 1 and 2 diabetes, as well as gestational diabetes.	DUKE
Anti ketotic		An agent that reduces ketone production, used to manage diabetic ketoacidosis, and other metabolic disorders by inhibiting ketogenesis, thereby reducing blood ketone levels and alleviating associated symptoms.	DUKE
Cataractagenic		An agent that induces cataract formation, disrupting lens transparency. Its biological role involves altering lens protein structure, leading to opacity. Therapeutically, it has limited applications, but research explores its mechanisms to understand cataract development. Key medical uses include studying cataract pathogenesis and testing potential anti-cataract agents.	DUKE
Cathartic	75325	An agent that induces bowel movements, relieving constipation by stimulating intestinal motility. Its biological role is to increase water and electrolyte secretion in the gut. Therapeutically, cathartics are used to treat constipation, prepare the bowel for surgery or exams, and manage opioid-induced constipation. Key medical uses include laxative therapy and colonoscopy preparation.	DUKE
Diuretic	35498	An agent that increases urine production, helping remove excess fluids and salts from the body. It plays a key biological role in regulating fluid balance and blood pressure. Therapeutically, diuretics are used to treat conditions such as hypertension, edema, and heart failure, helping reduce swelling and lower blood pressure.	DUKE
