D-ribose is an important component of the genetic material in living organisms—nucleic acid. It is in a pivotal position in the metabolism of nucleosides, proteins and fats. It has important physiological functions and broad application prospects. D-ribose, as a natural component existing in all cells in living organisms, is closely related to the formation of adenosine and the regeneration of ATP, and is one of the most basic energy sources for life metabolism. It plays a key role in the metabolism of the heart and choroid muscle, and can promote the recovery of ischemic tissue and local hypoxic tissue. Nucleic acid drugs are an important means for human treatment of viruses, tumors and AIDS. D-ribose is an important intermediate of many nucleic acid drugs, which can be used for ribavirin, adenosine, thymidine, cytidine, and fluoroadenosine. In the production of many drugs such as glycosides, 2-methyladenosine, wetatoxin, pyrazole toxin, and adenosine.
