Cerebrospinal fluid neopterin analysis in neuropediatric patients: establishment of a new cut off-value for the identification of inflammatory-immune mediated processes [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: A high level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neopterin is a marker of central nervous system inflammatory-immune mediated processes. We aimed to assess data from 606 neuropediatric patients, describing the clinical and biochemical features of ...

Oxidative Stress and Pteridines in Pediatric Asthma: Relationship to Exhaled Nitric Oxide
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a useful marker of airway inflammation in asthmatics. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) requires tetrahydrobiopterin as a cofactor and produces superoxide during NO generation.

Pretreatment cognitive and neural differences between sapropterin dihydrochloride responders and non-responders with phenylketonuria [PDF]
Sapropterin dihydrochloride (BH4) reduces phenylalanine (Phe) levels and improves white matter integrity in a subset of individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) known as “responders.” Although prior research has identified biochemical and genotypic ...

Administration of 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) in the diet of rats reduced total biopterins in plasma, brain and liver. The levels of dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) and the rate of biopterin biosynthesis were unaffected.
