Abstract

Inositol is categorized as an essential vitamin and recognised as a B8 vitamin. It and its derivatives including myo-inositol has some biological activity in several metabolisms. inositol is well tolerated and a natural constituent in human and animal nutrition. The toxicity of inositol is low. At the various concentrations, it presented antiviral activity against serious viruses such as rhinovirus, coxsackie, herpesvirus, HIV and iridovirus threatening biosafety, human and animal health. This review aimed to present the structure, role in nutrition, toxicity and potential antiviral activities of inositol and its derivatives as a dietary supplement in human and animal nutrition with One-Health concept.

İnsan ve hayvan beslenmesinde besin takviyesi olarak kullanılan İnositol’ün (vitamin B8) potansiyel antviral etkileri

Abstract

İnositol B8 virtamini olarak esansiyel vitamin olarak kabul edilmektedir. Inositol ve myo-inositol gibi türevleri çeşitli metabolizmalarda biyolojik aktiviteye sahiptir. İnositol iyi tolere edilir. İnsan ve hayvan beslenmesinde doğal bir bileşendir. İnositol düşük toksisiteye sahiptir. Çeşitli konsantrasyonlarda, rinovirüs, coxsackie, herpesvirus, HIV ve iridovirus gibi biyogüvenliği, insan ve hayvan sağlığını tehdit eden ciddi virüslere karşı antiviral aktiviteye sahip olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu derleme ile insan ve hayvan beslenmesinde takviye olarak kullanılan inositol ve türevlerinin yapısını, beslenmedeki rolünü, toksisitesini ve potansiyel antiviral aktivitelerini Tek-Sağlık konsepti ile sunmak amaçlanmıştır.
