INTRODUCTORY NOTE. -In 1939, Gerda Dangschat and Hermann 0. L. Fischer published a communicationi on the structure of condmitol and in that paper they described the preparation of two new inositols, muco-inositol and ago-inositol. At that time, Gerda Dangschat was at the University of Berlin, while

β¦ Synopsis
The desired radiolabelled inositol (Ins) and inositol-1-phosphate (IP) were obtained from radiolabelled glucose by sequential enzyme reactions in a short time. Rapid separation and fractionation of enzymes and labelled products from the reaction mixture was achieved by HPLC with a gel-permeation chromatography column. Examination of the biodistribution of radiolabelled Ins, IP and their acetylated analogs suggested that intact Ins labelled with 11C would be more effective than 11C-labelled acetylated Ins as a brain diagnostic agent for positron emission tomographic studies of the metabolism of phosphatidylinositol and its role as a second messenger in the brain.
