Description

Dihydrodecaprenyl Phosphate is a specialized phosphorylated polyprenol derivative, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall components. This compound matters for its critical role in research and development within the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors, particularly in studying bacterial cell wall synthesis pathways and developing novel antibacterial agents. It is primarily needed by researchers in medicinal chemistry, microbiology, and by manufacturers developing diagnostic tools or targeted therapeutics.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a crucial intermediate in the study of bacterial cell wall (peptidoglycan) biosynthesis, particularly in mycobacteria.
• Pharmaceutical Development: A key precursor or reference standard in the R&D of novel antibiotics targeting cell wall synthesis.
• Enzymology Studies: Used as a substrate for studying the activity of enzymes like decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose oxidase (DprE1), a validated drug target.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Potential use in the development of sensitive assays and diagnostic kits for bacterial detection and characterization.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Employed in tracing and understanding the complex metabolic pathways involved in bacterial polysaccharide production.
• Academic Research: Utilized in university and institutional labs for fundamental research in microbiology and infectious diseases.

Quality Control

Our Dihydrodecaprenyl Phosphate is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (NMR, MS). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all relevant specifications. We adhere to cGMP guidelines where applicable to support our clients in regulated development environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress. For short-term use, store desiccated at 2-8°C.
