An in vitro System for Studying Pteridine Biosynthesis In Drosophila melanogaster
In vitro organ culture is a system especially useful for the study of metabolic pathways and their regulation. This report applies such a system to the study of the biosynthesis of pteridines in Drosophila melanogaster, determining in vitro optimal ...

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

Pteridines CII Synthesis and Characterization of Dimeric Lumazines
Reduction of 1.3-dimethyllumazine (1) by zinc dust in Ac2O/AcOH leads to the formation of 6-7 connected bis-Iumazinyl derivatives. Depending on the reaction conditions either 7 -(5-acetyl-5,6, 7,8-tetrahydro-1.3-dimethyllumazin- 6-yl)-l, 3 ...
