Polyphosphate kinase (PPK), which can regenerate ATP from ADP, was utilized in the mevalonate-dependent enzymatic synthesis of amorphadiene. The activity of PPK, cloned from Escherichia coli, was determined by (31)P-NMR. The yield from the PPK-catalyzed synthesis was 25%, 2.5 times higher than that without PPK. The (31)P-NMR analysis of the final reaction mixture indicated no accumulation of intermediates.

Statins are widely established as an important class of medications for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. In addition to their lipid-lowering effects, mounting evidence suggests that statins exhibit non-lipid-lowering mediated effects in the cardiovascular system. These so called "pleiotropic" effects are partly due to antioxidant properties of statins.
