In the plant kingdom it is particularly abundant in cereals and legumes; in much smaller amounts IP6 and its lower phosphorylated forms (IP(1-5)) are contained in most mammalian cells, where they are important in regulating vital cellular functions. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have demonstrated striking anticancer (preventive as well...
