An inositol hexakisphosphate analog having a chemical structure of Formula I:
- wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 independently are —PO(OH)2, —PS(OH)2, —PSe(OH)2, or —AsO3;
- at least one of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 is —PS(OH)2, —PSe(OH)2, or —AsO3;
- and R1 and R3 are not both —PS(OH)2 or —PSe(OH)2 when R2, R4, R5, and R6 are —PO(OH)2.
An inositol hexakisphosphate analog having a chemical structure of Formula I:
- wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 independently are —PO(OH)2, or —PO(OH)2NO, and at least one of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 is —PO(OH)2NO.
