Electronic Structure of Tetrahydropteridine Derivatives
Pteridines, 1999 Recently; the 4-amino analogue of tetrahydrobiopterin was found to be a strong inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase while being bound to the enzyme in a manner similar to the natural cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.The present study investigates color change, background choice, sexual color dimorphism, and movement rates in a praying mantis, Stagmomantis limbata. Nymphs changed color over development in response to rearing container color. Adults showed sexual color dimorphisms, which could potentially reflect different camouflage strategies.

Soluble Fas ligand and neopterin in patients with systemic and cutaneous discoid lupus erythematosus
Pteridines, 2000 Evidence accumulates suggesting that the pathogenesis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with modulations in the Fas/FasL system. Serum concentrations of soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) were found to be elevated in patients with SLE.

Role of Weak Molecular Interactions in the Mechanism of Action of a Series of Antihelmintics
Molecules, 2000 Different physicochemical properties such as solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions, tautomerism, lipophilicity and solubility in water were determined for a serie of 6,7-diaryl-pteridines in order to relate those properties with their nematocide ...

Assessing the Association Between Animal Color and Behavior: A Meta‐Analysis of Experimental Studies
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.In animals, genetic variation in color is hypothesized to have pleiotropic effects on a variety of behaviors due to shared dependence on underlying biochemical pathways. We used a phylogenetic meta‐analytic approach to examine the relationship between individual variation in aggressive behavior and variation in multiple colors.

Theoretical study on the relative energies of cationic pterin tautomers
Pteridines, 2015 Pterins are heterocyclic molecules of biological importance that contain several basic sites. These molecules can be protonated in aqueous solution resulting in a wide variety of structures that differ in their site of protonation and tautomeric form. In

JEADV Clinical Practice, Volume 3, Issue 5, Page 1430-1446, December 2024.Abstract Vitiligo is one of the most common pigmentary skin disorders, which significantly impacts the quality of life. The aetiology and pathophysiology of vitiligo are still unclear, but one of the proposed mechanisms is oxidative damage interrupting melanogenesis.
