Insulin Reverses D-Glucose–Increased Nitric Oxide and Reactive Oxygen Species Generation in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Vascular tone is controlled by the L-arginine/nitric oxide (NO) pathway, and NO bioavailability is strongly affected by hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress.

Effects of endothelin-1 on intracellular tetrahydrobiopterin levels in vascular tissue [PDF]
Objective: Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is the essential cofactor of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and intracellular levels of BH4 is regulated by oxidative stress.

Urinary isoxanthopterin as a novel predictor following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
Oxidative stress is known as one of the causes of atrial fibrillation recurrence following catheter ablation; however, representative markers have not been established. In the results of urinary analyses using high‐performance liquid chromatography, urinary isoxanthopterin could be the noninvasive predictor of atrial tachyarrhythmias following catheter

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 ...

Protein inhibitor of NOS1 plays a central role in the regulation of NOS1 activity in human dilated hearts [PDF]
An essential factor for the production of nitric oxide by nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1), major modulator of cardiac function, is the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4).

Tetrahydro‐6‐biopterin is associated with tetrahydro‐7‐biopterin in primary murine mast cells [PDF]
Murine bone marrow‐derived mast cells proliferate in response to interleukin 3. In addition to 6‐biopterin, 7‐biopterin was identified in these cells by HPLC analysis of iodine oxidized extracts and by alkaline permanganate oxidation to the 6‐ and 7‐carboxylic acids. 7‐Biopterin comprised 31.9 (± 7.7)% of the total biopterin.

First Synthesis of Asperopterin A, an Isoxanthopterin Glycoside from Aspergillus Oryzae [PDF]
The key precursor, N-2-(N,N -dimethylaminomethylene)-6-hydroxymethyl-8-methyl-3-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-7-xanthopterin (16) was efficiently prepared from 2,5-diamino-6-methylamino-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (5) and ethyl 3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2 ...

New aspects in biopterin biosynthesis in man [PDF]
Tetrahydrobiopterin is synthesized from guanosine triphosphate (GTP)in several enzymatic steps [1,2]. Details of the pathway of the biopterin biosynthesis in mammals are still unresolved [3]. In rat and human brain the rate-limiting enzyme was GTP cyclohydrolase [2], followed by D-erythro-7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate synthetase.
