Expert opinion on therapeutic patents, 21(9), 1433-1451 (2011-06-28)
Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS, also known as farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS)) is one of the key enzymes involved in the mevalonate pathway and as such is widely expressed. FPPS modulators, specifically FPPS inhibitors, are useful in treating a number of

Synthesis of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), a key intermediate of the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway, is catalyzed by FPP synthase (FPPS). Antiprotozoal properties of bisphosphonates, which target FPPS, have generated interest in FPPS as a potential antiprotozoal drug target. The genes encoding
