Bioactivity
2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate is a unique metabolic intermediate exclusive to the non-mevalonate pathway (MEP) predominantly found in prokaryotes. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of both isoprenoids and non-isoprenoids (including vitamins) . Not present in humans, this compound represents a promising target for the development of bacterial-specific drugs for treating infectious diseases.
