In silico and in vivo screening of triamterene synthetic analogues as promising diuretics
The modification of lead-compound aimed to the increasing of activity, decrement of toxicity or improvement of selectivity is one of the most important methods used for elaboration of novel medications.

The Genetic Basis of Color Polymorphism in the Orb‐Web Spider Gasteracantha cancriformis [PDF]
This study investigates the genetic basis of coloration in the polymorphic spider Gasteracantha cancriformis using RNA‐seq data from different female color morphs. We assembled a reference transcriptome and identified differentially expressed genes associated with known pigmentation pathways, including carotenoids, melanin, ommochromes, and pteridines.

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

Pteridines in the Assessment of Neoplasia [PDF]
Biological processes which might explain the association of pteridine excretion with proliferation are still unknown. Difficulties in the analysis and the determination of naturally occurring pteridines are described. The best quantitative estimations were achieved when measurement of non-reduced forms was attempted.

Background: Pteridines are metabolites of tetrahydrobiopterin, which serves as co-enzyme of nitric oxide synthase. We sought to investigate the usefulness of pteridines as biomarkers for childhood asthma control.

Unconjugated pteridines are present in fungi, algae and plants. However, the functions of pteridines in these organisms are not thoroughly investigated. The biosynthesis follows the same steps as were shown for animals and eubacteria.

Influence of Neopterin on Ciliary Beat Frequency of Human Nasal Epithelial Cells in vitro
Acute infectious diseases of the respiratory tract are regularly associated with increased concentrations of neopterin in serum and/or urine. Most likely, the pteridine compound is not only a marker of an activated cellular immune system but may exert ...
