DESCRIPTION

General description

Isopentenyl pyrophosphate trilithium salt (3-Methyl-3-butenyl pyrophosphate trilithium salt, IPP) is the lithium salt of isopentenyl pyrophosphate. It is an intermediate formed during the biosynthesis of polyisoprenoid compounds. It can be synthesized from isopentenol in a three step process.[1] Mevalonic acid can be converted to isopentenyl pyrophosphate in an ATP-dependent process. Melavonate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate are incorporated into rubber by Hevea brasiliensis latex.[2]

Application

Isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) may be used as a substrate to study the distribution, characterization and kinetics of isopentenyl-diphosphate isomerase(s). IPP is used to study the biosynthesis of isoprenoids/terpenoids. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate may be used in rubber synthesis.[3]
