2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate

Description:

2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (CAS 206440-72-4) is a phosphorylated sugar alcohol that plays a crucial role in the non-mevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis, particularly in certain bacteria and plants. This compound is characterized by its structure, which includes a four-carbon backbone with a phosphate group attached at the fourth carbon and a methyl group at the second carbon. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid that is soluble in water due to its polar functional groups. The compound is involved in the synthesis of isoprenoids, which are vital for various biological processes, including the production of vitamins, hormones, and other essential biomolecules. Its biological significance has made it a target for research in antibiotic development, as inhibiting its pathway can affect the growth of certain pathogens. Additionally, 2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate can be analyzed using techniques such as NMR and mass spectrometry to confirm its identity and purity in laboratory settings.
