Novel bisphosphonates as inhibitors of isoprenoid biosynthesis

Products of the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway are involved in diverse biological functions. For example, the isoprenoid diphosphate, farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), is used for synthesis of squalene, a precursor of cholesterol. In addition, FPP and geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) are used for protei...
