Decaprenylphospho-beta-D-ribofuranose 2-oxidase (EC 1.1.98.3, decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribofuranose 2'-epimerase, Rv3790, DprE1) is an enzyme with systematic name trans,octacis-decaprenylphospho-beta-D-ribofuranose:FAD 2-oxidoreductase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

trans,octacis-decaprenylphospho-beta-D-ribofuranose + FAD trans,octacis-decaprenylphospho-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosid-2-ulose + FADH2

This enzyme from the bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis participates in epimerization of trans,octacis-decaprenylphospho-beta-D-ribofuranose to trans,octacis-decaprenylphospho-beta-D-arabinoofuranose.

Macozinone and quabodepistat are two investigational drugs that target DprE1.[3]
