The plant source inositol known as phytate [1] “has strong chelating power for doubly charged metal ions” and “is a putative antiproliferative agent and may have antioxidant activity” [1]. Thus, inositol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is preferred by some for its chelating abilities.
Inositol is involved with the formation of phospholipids as well as cholesterol metabolism. Inositol phospholipids are integral parts of cellular and subcellular membranes and modulate many enzymes including adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
