Product Description
Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) pentasodium is an important metabolite required for the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, the amino acid (AA)s histidine and tryptophan, and the cofactors NAD and NADP.
Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate pentasodium (PRPP) is a key metabolite required for the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, the amino acids histidine and tryptophan, and the cofactors NAD and NADP. The pentasodium salt form enhances stability and solubility for biochemical assays and cell-free systems.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Human Endogenous Metabolite
PRPP serves as a key substrate for enzymes like phosphoribosyltransferases in the formation of nucleotides, NAD⁺, and histidine. It is a phosphoribosyl donor for AMP and GMP synthesis in reactions catalyzed by adenine phosphoribosyltransferase and hypoxanthine/guanine phosphoribosyltransferase. PRPP is also a substrate for enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of histidine and tryptophan.
ln Vitro
An essential step in cellular metabolism is phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) pentasodium. The following is the process by which PRPP synthase makes PRPP: ribose 5-phosphate + ATP → PRPP + AMP. Living things contain PRPP in large quantities. It is utilized in substitution processes to create glycosidic linkages. The amino acids histidine and tryptophan, the cofactors NAD and tetrahydromethotrexate, arabinose monophosphate, and some aminoglycoside antibiotics are all biosynthesised via PRPP [1]. In human erythrocytes without hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase accumulation, phosphoribosyl diphosphate (5-Phosphoribosyl-l-pyrophosphate) pentasodium is a substrate shared by adenine phosphoribosyltransferase and hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase. Purified adenine phosphoribosyltransferase is stabilized against thermal inactivation by adding 5-phosphoribosyl-l-pyrophosphate [2].
PRPP is an essential metabolite that acts as a substrate for multiple enzymatic reactions in nucleotide biosynthesis. It is converted to 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate by PRPP synthetase using ATP. The compound's activity is assessed by measuring the transfer of the phosphoribosyl group to acceptor molecules in enzyme-coupled assays. It is a critical intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway and salvage pathways.
ln Vivo
PRPP is an endogenous metabolite that plays a fundamental role in cellular metabolism. It is involved in the de novo and salvage pathways of nucleotide synthesis, which are essential for DNA and RNA biosynthesis. The compound is used in metabolic studies to investigate the regulation of nucleotide synthesis and energy metabolism. Its levels are tightly regulated in cells.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for PRPP-dependent enzymes involve incubating the enzyme with PRPP pentasodium and appropriate substrates (e.g., adenine, hypoxanthine) in Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.4-8.0, typically at 37°C. The reaction products (e.g., AMP, GMP) are quantified by HPLC or LC-MS/MS. For phosphoribosyltransferase assays, the reaction is monitored by measuring the formation of nucleotide monophosphates. Kinetic parameters are determined by varying PRPP concentrations.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell assays, cells are cultured in medium supplemented with PRPP pentasodium at concentrations of 0.1-10 mM. Cellular nucleotide levels are analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The compound's effects on nucleotide biosynthesis and cell proliferation are assessed by measuring DNA synthesis using BrdU incorporation or by quantifying purine and pyrimidine nucleotide pools. Metabolic flux analysis using isotopically labeled PRPP can trace nucleotide synthesis pathways.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, PRPP pentasodium is administered to rodents via intravenous injection at doses of 10-100 mg/kg. Blood and tissue samples are collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. PRPP levels are quantified by LC-MS/MS. The compound has been used in studies to assess the relationship between muscarinic receptor cationic current and internal calcium in guinea-pig jejunal smooth muscle cells. Tissue distribution and metabolic effects are evaluated.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
PRPP pentasodium (MW ~548.0) is highly soluble in water. The pentasodium salt form is stable under recommended storage conditions (powder at -20°C). It is a key intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway. The compound is rapidly metabolized and utilized in nucleotide biosynthesis. It is an important metabolite in cellular energy metabolism and is used as a substrate in biochemical assays.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The compound is for research use only. No specific toxicity data are available in the search results. As an endogenous metabolite, it is expected to have low toxicity at physiological concentrations. High doses may affect nucleotide metabolism and cellular energy balance. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling.
