Phytoene desaturase-IN-1（Cat No.:I043306）is a small molecule inhibitor designed to target phytoene desaturase (PDS), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, from phytoene in plants and microorganisms. By inhibiting PDS, Phytoene desaturase-IN-1 prevents the desaturation step, halting the production of carotenoids. This inhibition has potential applications in agricultural biotechnology to control carotenoid synthesis in crops or in research for studying metabolic pathways. Additionally, it may have applications in controlling microbial growth in certain biotechnological processes.
