(2S,3R)-2-methylbutane-1,2,3,4-tetrol was identified as a glucide in methanol extracts of Carum ajowan fruit.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Metabolite of the non-mevalonate MEP pathway, generally found in prokaryotes, as precursor to isoprenoids as well as non-isoprenoids like vitamins. As this pathway is not present in humans, it is of interest for the development of bacterium-specific drugs in the search for treatments of infectious diseases.

From the water-soluble portion of the methanol extract of the fruit of Carum ajowan (ajowan), which has been used as a spice and medicine, 25 compounds, including five new monoterpenoid glucosides, a new monoterpenoid, two new aromatic compound glucosides, and
Biosynthesis of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol, a putative C5 intermediate in the mevalonate independent pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis.

2-C-methyl-D-erythritol, a soluble carbohydrate that is not ubiquitously found in higher plants, was detected in the ethanol extract from Phlox subulata petals and isolated using HPLC. The isolated compound was identified by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and Cl-MS spectra. 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol was a

Detailed organic analysis of natural aerosols from the Amazonian rain forest showed considerable quantities of previously unobserved polar organic compounds, which were identified as a mixture of two diastereoisomeric 2-methyltetrols: 2-methylthreitol and 2-methylerythritol. These polyols, which have the isoprene skeleton
