The D-enantiomer of mannitol. Mannitol is a type of sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and medication. As a medication, it is used to decrease pressure in the eyes, as in glaucoma, and to lower increased intracranial pressure.
The polymorphism of D-Mannitol (mannitol) is reviewed in this paper. It was found that the structure of the stable form is consistent in most literatures, but different authors have given different information about the two metastable forms. Therefore the commonly used nomenclature of mannitol was summarized based on the crystal unit cell parameters with the help of X-ray powder diffraction.
