Application

Fosmidomycin sodium salt hydrate has been used as an inhibitor of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase in a study to determine monotropin carvacrol biosynthesis in Satureja khuzistanica plant.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fosmidomycin is an inhibitor of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) (MEP synthase): an antimalarial compound. 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) is an enzyme involved in the first step in the nonmevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis in Gram-negative, Gram-positive bacteria, plants, and the parasite causing the most virulent form of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum (Mammals produce isoprenoids via the mevalonate pathway).

Specific inhibition of enzymes of the non-mevalonate pathway is a promising strategy for the development of novel antiplasmodial drugs. α-Aryl-substituted β-oxa isosteres of fosmidomycin with a reverse orientation of the hydroxamic acid group were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory

Isoprene biosynthesis is an essential component of metabolism. Two pathways are known for the production of five-carbon (isoprene) intermediates: the mevalonate and nonmevalonate pathways. As many pathogenic organisms rely exclusively on the nonmevalonate pathway (NMP) for isoprenoids and humans do

In their natural environment, plants are synchronously confronted with mutualists and antagonists, and thus benefit from signals that contain messages for both functional groups of interaction partners. Floral scents are complex blends of volatiles of different chemical classes, including benzenoids

Fosmidomycin derivatives in which the hydroxamic acid group has been replaced by several bidentate chelators as potential hydroxamic alternatives were prepared and tested against the DXR from Escherichia coli. These results illustrate the predominant role of the hydroxamate functional group
