Polyprenols are natural long-chain isoprenoid alcohols of the general formula H-(C5H8)n-OH, where n is the number of isoprene units.

Polyprenols play an important function, acting as natural bioregulators and are found in small quantities in various plant tissues.

Development of Solodky's research led Russian scientists to isolate a completely different class of organic substance from the needles, including polyprenols.

Polyprenols are low molecular natural bioregulators (physiologically active), playing a significant modulating role in the cellular process in plants referred to as biosynthesis.

The dolichol phosphate cycle facilitates the process of cellular membrane glycosylation, that is, the synthesis of glycoproteins that control the interactions of cells, support the immune system and the stabilization of protein molecules.

[7] The interest in polyprenols and dolichols is associated with their wide range of demonstrated biological activity and extremely low toxicity.
