Description

6,7-Dihydrofarnesyl Pyrophosphate is a key biosynthetic intermediate in the isoprenoid pathway, specifically in the synthesis of sesquiterpenes and other higher terpenoids. This compound matters as a crucial substrate for terpene synthases and prenyltransferases, enabling the production of a diverse array of natural products and bioactive molecules. It is primarily needed by researchers in biochemistry, enzymology, and synthetic biology, as well as by manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries for the development of novel compounds.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Essential substrate for studying enzyme mechanisms of terpene synthases and prenyltransferases.
• In Vitro Synthesis: Used in cell-free systems for the enzymatic production of specific sesquiterpenes and diterpenes.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: A critical intermediate for probing and manipulating the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) and mevalonate (MVA) pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a building block for the synthesis of potential drug candidates with terpenoid backbones.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Precursor in the biosynthesis of complex aroma compounds and essential oil components.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing novel pesticides or plant growth regulators based on terpenoid structures.
• Standards & References: High-purity material for use as an analytical standard in LC-MS or NMR for metabolic profiling.
