Electronic Structure of Tetrahydropteridine Derivatives

open access: yesPteridines, 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.

Neopterin as a Tool for Primate Ecoimmunology: Current Knowledge, Practical Application, and New Directions From Captivity to the Wild

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 10, October 2025.
Neopterin is a sensitive and specific biomarker of intracellular pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, and affected by environmental, life‐history, and sex‐contextual factors. This review offers best‐practice guidelines and practical advice on sample collection, storage, and analysis in primates when used for ecoimmunological conservation and ...

Pterin function in bacteria

open access: yesPteridines, 2017
Pterins are widely conserved biomolecules that play essential roles in diverse organisms. First described as enzymatic cofactors in eukaryotic systems, bacterial pterins were discovered in cyanobacteria soon after.

The Role of Neopterin and Interleukin‐6 Detection in Saliva and Plasma in Oral and Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients: A Prospective Study

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 11, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives The incidence of oral and oropharyngeal cancer is continually rising and affects increasingly younger patients. Consequently, many studies focus on early diagnosis using appropriate biomarkers. Neopterin and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) are promising predictive and prognostic markers of immune response activation, both systemic and local ...

Theoretical study on the relative energies of cationic pterin tautomers

open access: yesPteridines, 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

Genomic Characterisation of Limosilactobacillus fermentum CRL2085 Unveiling Probiotic Traits for Application in Cattle Feed

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
A comprehensive genomic and phenotypic analysis of Limosilactobacillus fermentum CRL2085 revealed key probiotic and nutritional traits supporting its safe application in cattle feed. The strain harbors genes for stress tolerance, adhesion, exopolysaccharide production, and B‐vitamin biosynthesis, and efficiently metabolizes plant‐derived carbohydrates,

Differential Inhibition of Constitutive and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase in Vascular Endothelial Cells by Analogues of Tetrahydrobiopterin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the vasculature, a physiologic production of nitric oxide (NO) is maintained by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (ÍNOS) under inflammatory conditions (e.g. septic shock) resulting in high levels of

First Synthesis of a Natural Isoxanthopterin Glycoside, Asperopterin-A [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The key precursor, N-2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)-6-hydroxymethy1-8-methyl-3[2-(4-nitrophenypethyl]-7-xanthopterin (9) was efficiently prepared from 2,5-diamino-6-methylam1no-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (3) and ethyl 3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2 ...
