Clinical measurement of neopterin has been extensively used as a marker of inflammation but the in vivo mechanism generating neopterin is poorly understood. Neopterin is described as the oxidation product of 7,8-dihydroneopterin, a potent antioxidant generated by monocyte/macrophages in response to interferon-γ.

Generation of carbon monoxide and iron from hemeproteins in the presence of 7,8-dihydroneopterin
7,8-Dihydroneopterin and neopterin are secreted by human and primate macrophages after activation by interferon-gamma in a ratio of 2:1. 7,8-Dihydroneopterin is known to suppress radical-mediated processes, but it is also able in the presence of iron ions to generate superoxide radical anion and hydroxyl radicals from molecular oxygen.

Synthesis of enzymatically active D-7,8-dihydroneopterin-3′-triphosphate
The first chemical synthesis of D-neopterin-3'-triphosphate and D-7,8-dihydroneopterin-3'-triphosphate is described. D-neopterin-3'-monophosphate was first 1'-2'-0-formylated with anhydrous formic acid, then activated with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole and phosphorylated with n-tributyl-ammonium pyrophosphate. The yield of 3'-NTP was 24%.

Formation, Transport and Detection of 7,8-Dihydroneopterin [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease leading to plaque buildup in the major arteries. The plaques consist of cholesterol, calcium, inflammatory cells, extracellular matrix and fibrous material. Under inflammatory conditions IFN-• stimulation of human monocytes and macrophages generates reduced pteridine, 7,8-dihydroneopterin (78NP) which ...

Modulation of LDL Oxidation by 7,8-Dihydroneopterin
Free Radical Research, 2004Human macrophages stimulated with interferon-gamma generate neopterin and 7,8-dihydroneopterin which interfere with reactive species involved in LDL oxidation. While neopterin was found to have pro-oxidative effects on copper-mediated LDL oxidation, the influence of 7,8-dihydroneopterin is more complex. This study provides detailed information that 7,8-

7,8-Dihydroneopterin protects cells intracellularly from oxidative stress-induced death, but its mode of transport across the cell membrane is unknown. Nucleosides, such as guanosine, are transported via nucleoside transporters of the equilibrative and concentrative forms.
