Plasma total neopterin and neopterin levels are significantly elevated in stroke patients before carotid endarterectomy surgery

Pteridines
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease where activated immune cells are recruited into the artery wall forming artery plaques. Interferon-γ released by T-cells causes macrophage synthesis and release of 7,8-dihydroneopterin, an antioxidant and CD36 ...

Determination of Urinary Neopterin/Creatinine Ratio to Distinguish Active Tuberculosis from Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Biomarkers to distinguish latent from active Mycobacterium (M.) tuberculosis infection in clinical practice are lacking. The urinary neopterin/creatinine ratio can quantify the systemic interferon-gamma effect in patients with M. tuberculosis

Efficient Total Syntheses of Natural Neopterin Glycosides: Neopterin Glucronide and Solfapterin [PDF]

HETEROCYCLES, 2017
1’,2’-Di-O-acetyl-N2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)-3-[2-(4-nitro- phenyl)ethyl]neopterin (11a) and its 1’,2’-di-O-benzoyl analog (11b) were prepared from neopterin in 5 steps, respectively. Glycosylation of 11a with methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-α-D-glucopyranosyluronate bromide (15b) in the presence of silver triflate afforded the corresponding 3’-O-(β-D ...

Influence of Three Different Diet Modes Combined with Exercise Loads on Urinary and Plasma Neopterin Concentrations: A Longitudinal Study

Pteridines, 1997
During six months, we studied the influence of three extremely different diet modes (normal diet, carbohydrate- rich diet, fat-rich diet) combined with three defined exercise loads (step test, endurance test fo r 30 minutes, endurance test for 90 minutes)

Serum Neopterin and Procalcitonin Levels in Relationship with Pediatric Burn Wound Infections [PDF]

, 2016
Infection and septic complications in burn patients can be monitored by procalcitonin (PCT) and neopterin plasma values. The aim of the study was to investigate serum neopterin and PCT levels with WBC (white blood cell) and CRP (C-reactive protein ...

Neopterin Concentrations in Colon Dialysate

Pteridines, 2001
Increased production of neopterin in humans is indicative for an activated cellular immune response. The intestinal immune system encounters an enormous amount of infectious agents or injurious substances evoking a cellular immune response. The objective

Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Free Sialic Acid Storage Disorder

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Free sialic acid storage disorder (FSASD) is a lysosomal storage disorder that results from biallelic pathogenic variants in the SLC17A5 gene. This gene codes for sialin, a 12‐transmembrane domain protein that exports the charged sugar N‐acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac; sialic acid) out of the lysosome.
