Tetrahydrobiopterin Role in human umbilical vein endothelial dysfunction in maternal supraphysiological hypercholesterolemia [PDF]
Maternal physiological hypercholesterolemia (MPH) allows a proper foetal development; however, maternal supraphysiological hypercholesterolemia (MSPH) associates with foetal endothelial dysfunction and early development of atherosclerosis.

Synthetic studies on pterin glycosides: the first synthesis of 2′-O-(α-d-glucopyranosyl)biopterin [PDF]
L-Rhamnose was led, in a 14-step-sequence, to N2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)-1′-O-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]biopterin (23), an appropriately protected precursor for 2′-O-glycosylation, while 4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-di-O-(4-methoxybenzyl)-α-

Pterins as diagnostic markers of mechanical and impact-induced trauma: A systematic review [PDF]
We performed a systematic review of the literature to evaluate pterins as biomarkers of mechanical and impact-induced trauma. MEDLINE and Scopus were searched in March 2019.

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 ...

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 ...

Endothelial cell tetrahydrobiopterin modulates sensitivity to ang (angiotensin) II–induced vascular remodeling, blood pressure, and abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]
GTPCH (GTP cyclohydrolase 1, encoded by Gch1) is required for the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin; a critical regulator of endothelial NO synthase function.

Dystonia and Biopterin Deficiency
Five patients with childhood dystonia associated with reduced CSF biopterin, responsive to levodopa, and characterized by diurnal and exertional variation are reported from the Developmental and Metabolic Neurology Branch, National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke, Bethesda, MD.

ABSTRACT Background Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiencies comprise a group of five neurometabolic disorders caused by five genetic defects responsible for BH4 biosynthesis and regeneration. Their global prevalence remains unknown, and variance exists among different countries.

Tetrahydrobiopterin protects against hypertrophic heart disease independent of myocardial nitric oxide synthase coupling [PDF]
Nitric oxide synthase uncoupling occurs under conditions of oxidative stress modifying the enzyme's function so it generates superoxide rather than nitric oxide.
