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).
