Description:D-Glucose-4-D is a deuterated form of glucose. It is a halophilic sugar that is used in the biosynthesis of lipids. D-Glucose-4-D can be synthesized chemically or by isotope effect by using d-glucose as the starting material. This compound can be used to study lipid synthesis and lipid metabolism in bacteria, such as E. coli, because it has been shown to inhibit the enzyme glycerol dehydratase, which catalyzes the conversion of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, an intermediate in lipid biosynthesis. D-Glucose-4-D also inhibits the enzyme phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, which converts phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol. These compounds are important for membrane lipid formation and are involved in cellular signalling pathways.
