Tetrahydrobioterin (BH4) pathway: from metabolism to neuropsychiatry.
Tetrahydrobipterin (BH4) is a pivotal enzymatic cofactor required for the synthesis of serotonin, dopamine and nitric oxide. BH4 is essential for numerous physiological processes at periphery and central level, such as vascularization, inflammation ...

Increasing Hydrogen Density with the Cation-Anion Pair BH4−-NH4+ in Perovskite-Type NH4Ca(BH4)3 [PDF]
A novel metal borohydride ammonia-borane complex Ca(BH4)2·NH3BH3 is characterized as the decomposition product of the recently reported perovskite-type metal borohydride NH4Ca(BH4)3, suggesting that ammonium-based metal borohydrides release hydrogen gas ...

Hydrogen Desorption in Mg(BH4)2-Ca(BH4)2 System [PDF]
Magnesium borohydride, Mg(BH4)2, and calcium borohydride, Ca(BH4)2, are promising materials for hydrogen storage. Mixtures of different borohydrides have been the subject of numerous researches; however, the whole Mg(BH4)2-Ca(BH4)2 system has not been ...

BH4 treatment in BH4-responsive PKU patients: preliminary data on blood prolactin concentrations suggest increased cerebral dopamine concentrations [PDF]
In phenylketonuria (PKU), cerebral neurotransmitter deficiencies have been suggested to contribute to brain dysfunction. Present treatment aims to reduce blood phenylalanine concentrations by a phenylalanine-restricted diet, while in some patients blood phenylalanine concentrations also respond to cofactor treatment with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4 ...

Ca(BH4)2-Mg2NiH4: on the pathway to a Ca(BH4)2 system with a reversible hydrogen cycle. [PDF]
The Ca(BH4)2-Mg2NiH4 system presented here is, to the best of our knowledge, the first described Ca(BH4)2-based hydride composite that reversibly transfers boron from the Ca-based compound(s) to the reaction partner. The ternary boride MgNi2.5B2 is formed upon dehydrogenation and the formation of Ca(BH4)2 upon rehydrogenation is confirmed.

Metabolism and regulation of tetrahydrobiopterin and its implications for BH4-responsive hyperphenylalaninemia and BH4-deficiencies [PDF]
The autosomal recessive inherited, metabolic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) – a key enzyme in the catabolism of phenylalanine. PKU patients present with noxiously increased concentrations of the amino acid phenylalanine in the plasma, leading to a so-called hyperphenylalaninemia ...

Preparation and Characterization of Ti(BH4)3(THF)3 and V(BH4)2(TMEDA)2 Complexes [PDF]
We have recently synthesized Ti(BH4)3(THF)3 and V(BH4)2(TMEDA)2 complexes. The reaction of TiCl3(THF)3 with NaBH4 in dry THF gave flat blue crystals, Ti(BH4)3(THF)3. The reaction of VCl3 with NaBH4 in presence of N, N, N', N'- tetramethylethylenediamine,

Understanding and consequently treating neuropathic pain effectively is a challenge for modern medicine, as unlike inflammation, which can be controlled relatively well, chronic pain due to nerve injury is refractory to most current therapeutics. Here we define a target pathway for a new class of analgesics, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis and ...

Crystallographic characterization of (C5H4SiMe3)3U(BH4) [PDF]
New syntheses have been developed for the synthesis of (borohydrido-κ3 H)tris-[η5-(tri-methyl-sil-yl)cyclo-penta-dien-yl]uranium(IV), [U(BH4)(C8H13Si)3] or Cp'3U(BH4) (Cp' = C5H4SiMe3) and its structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray ...
