Statins were recently shown to possess anti-inflammatory activities, which might be responsible for their favourable effects in cardiovascular or CNS disorders independently from the inhibition of hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl CoA reductase. Here we investigated the effects of the statins lovastatin and mevastatin

UPPS (undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase) catalyses consecutive condensation reactions of FPP (farnesyl pyrophosphate) with eight isopentenyl pyrophosphates to generate C55 UPP, which serves as a lipid carrier for bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis. We reported the co-crystal structure of Escherichia coli UPPS in

A structure-based approach was pursued in designing novel bisphosphonate inhibitors of the human farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (hFPPS). Preliminary SAR and structural evidence for the simultaneous binding of these inhibitors into the isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and the geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) substrate

Assay and drug development technologies, 5(2), 205-214 (2007-05-05)
A mix-and-read FlashPlate (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) assay for the enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) synthase (FPPS) was developed to rapidly measure both steps in the synthesis of FPP from dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP). The assay used either DMAPP or geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP)

The Journal of organic chemistry, 74(2), 895-898 (2008-12-04)
Hexaamide receptor 4 and coumarin phosphate 5 form an ensemble for effective sensing of geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP). Fluorescence resonance energy transfer in the 4 + 5 ensemble diminishes when 5 is replaced by GPP. Receptor 4 binds selectively with GPP
