Psychiatric Manifestations in Patients with Biopterin Defects
Neuropediatrics, 2022AbstractPsychiatric manifestations in patients with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) defects are common, and may occur even with treatment of the underlying disorder. The neurobiological background of these conditions has been linked to abnormalities of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid.

Repeated intraventricular injections of 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAO-Pyr), inhibitor of D-erythro-q-dihydroneopterin triphosphate synthetase, inhibited q-BH2 synthesis from GTP, markedly increased accumulation of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-5 (or -6)-formamido-6-triphosphoribosylaminopyrimidine (FPyd-P3) and brought about a 60% decrease in the in vivo of

Screening for Biopterin Disorders in PKU
Pediatrics, 1980It is now recognized (Pediatrics 65:806, 1980) that a small proportion of cases of phenylketonuria (PKU) may be due to abnormalities in the metabolism of biopterin. These cases do not respond to the restriction of dietary phenylalanine, but may be benefited by neurotransmitter replacement therapy. A specific diagnosis is therefore desirable.

Journal of the Chemical Society C: Organic, 1969
An unambiguous synthesis of biopterin [2-amino-6-(L-erythro-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)pteridin-4-(3H)-one] is described; based on an improved synthesis of L-neopterin. The synthesis yields biopterin, a naturally occurring pteridine, in a pure, crystalline form without recourse to chromatography. D-Biopterin and D-neopterin are also described.

A differential microdetermination for the various forms of biopterin
Analytical Biochemistry, 1978Abstract Conditions for the quantitative oxidation and destruction of tetrahydrobiopterin and quinoid dihydrobiopterin and the separation of biopterin from its reduced forms by ECTEOLA-Sephadex column chromatography are described. A procedure for the quantitation of tetrahydrobiopterin plus quinoid dihydrobiopterin, 7,8-dihydrobiopterin, and ...

Biopterin cofactor and monoamine-synthesizing monooxygenases
Neurochemistry International, 1983The activities of three pterin-requiring monooxygenases, phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase and tryptophan hydroxylase, are regulated by the level of the pterin cofactor, (6R)- l -erythro- tetrahydrobiopterin , which is synthesized from guanosine triphosphate (GTP).

Quantitation of total biopterin and tetrahydrobiopterin in plasma
Clinical Biochemistry, 2007To develop a reliable method for the determination of tetrahydrobiopterin and total biopterin in plasma.Modifications include blood collection and handling procedures.Collection of blood in the presence of 0.1% (w/v) dithiothreitol and waiting for 2-3 h before centrifugation are optimal for adequate quantitation of both pterins.For a reliable ...

Biopterin metabolism in patients with malignant syndrome
Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2003We examined the autopsied brains of two parkinsonian patients who had malignant syndrome (MS). Neopterin and biopterin contents, and GTP cyclohydrolase I activity were measured in various region of the brain. We found relatively higher GTP cyclohydrolase I activities in the hypothalamus compared with other regions of the brain from patients with MS ...

Synthesis of biopterin and related pterin glycosides
IUBMB Life, 2013AbstractCertain pterins having a hydroxyalkyl side chain at C‐6 have been found as glycosidic forms in certain prokaryotes, such as 2′‐O‐(α‐D‐glucopyranosyl)biopterin from various kinds of cyanobacteria, and limipterin from a green sulfur photosynthetic bacterium.
