Description

Isopentenyl Pyrophosphate Ammonium 200 is a high-purity, stabilized ammonium salt of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), a critical biosynthetic intermediate. This compound is essential for research and production in isoprenoid and terpenoid metabolic pathways. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and academic research sectors for enzymatic studies, metabolic engineering, and the synthesis of valuable natural products.

Application

• Enzymology Research: Serves as a key substrate for enzymes in the mevalonate pathway, such as farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase.
• Metabolic Pathway Studies: Used in in vitro assays to study and manipulate terpenoid biosynthesis for the production of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and flavors.
• Biocatalyst Development: A vital reagent for screening and characterizing novel prenyltransferases and other enzymes involved in chain elongation of isoprenoids.
• Synthetic Biology: Employed in cell-free systems and engineered microbial platforms for the sustainable production of high-value terpenes like taxadiene (precursor to paclitaxel) or artemisinin.
• Biochemical Standard: Acts as a certified reference material for quantitative analysis (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) in metabolic profiling and quality control of related biochemical processes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of drugs targeting cholesterol synthesis, bone disorders (bisphosphonates), and certain cancers.
