ABSTRACT The correct diagnosis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4, sapropterin dihydrochloride)‐responsive phenylketonuria (PKU) and treatment with BH4 are important for prognosis and quality of life. We examined whether age affects biopterin bioavailability following oral BH4 administration in PKU and whether this influences BH4 responsiveness.

Degeneration of Rat Retina is Paralleled by an Imbalance of the Redox Mechanism of Pteridines
The RCS rat suffers from a genetic degeneration of retinal cell We have examined the pattern of oxidized and reduced monapterin and biopterin in retinas from RCS retinas and controls.

A contribution to the chemistry of pterins [PDF]
Abstract The experiments in this paper have been chiefly concerned with a derivative from pterins, the wing pigments of pierid butterflies. These pigments have become prominent of recent years, partly on account of the prolonged efforts (1925-41) of continental workers to determine their nature.

Characterization of Underivatized Pterins by Laser Desorption Fourier Transfonn Mass Spectrometry
Laser desorption FfMS provides a powerful method for examining the structures of underivatized pteridines. (M + Na)+ and (M + K)+ ions are generated by laser desorption and can be used to determine molecular weights. The negative ion spectra provide more

Mechanistic Study of ROS-photogeneration by Pterin
Pterins are widespread in biological systems and possess photosensitizing activities. In the present study, the photosensitization mechanism of acid form of pterin (PTA) and basic form of pterin (PTB) is investigated by means of density functional theory

Neopterin, 7,8-dihydroneopterin and 5,6,7,8-terahydroneopterm are secreted by human macrophages after activation by interferon-γ. The biological stability of the reduced pterins is less than one hour and therefore distinctly lower than that of neopterin.

Nonribosomal peptides represent a large class of metabolites with pharmaceutical relevance. Pteridines, such as pterins, folates, and flavins, are heterocyclic metabolites that often serve as redox-active cofactors.

Theoretical study on the relative energies of cationic pterin tautomers
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
