Description

Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate is a carotenoid that has been shown to have anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. It is the precursor of phytoene, which is a precursor of lycopene. Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate binds to DNA and inhibits the activity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by binding to the enzyme DNA polymerase. This compound also has been found to have inhibitory effects on neuronal death in murine hepatoma cells. Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate may be used as a pharmacological agent for treating atherosclerotic lesions or other conditions associated with inflammation.
