Conjugated and unconjugated pteridines and their derivatives are important cofactors in cellular metabolism. Hence, the amount of unconjugated pteridines in biological fluids has been found to be modified as a result of several disorders. It is necessary

In the nascent processes of the beginnings and evolution of life, nucleobases and especially purines, ribonucleos(t)ides and primitive RNAs have been continuously modified. A RNA‐peptide world and key metabolic pathways probably have emerged from the corresponding chemical modifications resulting from adenine deamination, purine alkylation and ...

Serum Biopterin and Neopterin Levels as Predictors of Empty Follicles
OBJECTIVE This study measured serum and follicular fluid (FF) levels of biopterin, neopterin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in patients receiving mild ovarian stimulation for oocyte retrieval.

This study provides in‐depth evidence on the metabolic regulation of zebrafish embryos with acrylamide exposure at different zebrafish developmental stages. The pattern of significantly changed metabolites revealed that acrylamide exposure has a detrimental effect on early heart development in zebrafish due to the inhibition of de novo synthesis of ...

Control of Melanogenesis In the Human Epidermis by the Redox-Status of Tetrahydrobiopterins
Activity of tyrosinase directly controls melanogenesis in the human epidermis. Recently, it has been shown that the biosynthesis and recycling of (6R)L-erythro 5,6,7,8 tetrahydrobiopterin (6-BH4) plays a central role in regulating the supply of L ...

Synthesis of 6-Hydroxymethylpterin α- and β-D-Glucosides [PDF]
The key precursor, N(2)-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)-6-hydroxymethyl-3-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]pterin (11) was efficiently prepared from 2,5,6-triamino-4-hydroxypyrimidine (8) in 5 steps.

Influences of Catecholamine Contents on Tetrahydrobiopterin Metabolism
The influence of changes in catecholamine metabolism on tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis was investigated in cultured rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. The increase in the cellular dopamine content after treatment with the MAO-COMT inhibitor or dopamine ...

Neurological aspects of biopterin metabolism. [PDF]
Plasma total biopterin concentration was measured by bioassay in 59 infants with hyperphenylalaninaemia and in 50 children with developmental regression and or movement disorder with normal plasma phenylalanine concentrations. In infants with raised phenylalanine concentrations plasma biopterin concentrations were significantly raised in proportion to ...

Background Cancers are characterized by high heterogeneity. This study seeks to identify the factors driving hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) heterogeneity to aid in prognostic stratification and inform personalized treatment approaches. Methods We used a computational pipeline to integrate multiomics data from HCC patients, applying 10 clustering ...
