Uncoupled nitric oxide synthase activity promotes colorectal cancer progression

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2023
Increased levels of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species are one hallmark of chronic inflammation contributing to the activation of pro-inflammatory/proliferative pathways. In the cancers analyzed, the tetrahydrobiopterin:dihydrobiopterin ratio is lower than

Possibility of the Nonenzymatic Conversion of 6-(1'-Oxo-2'-hydroxypropyl)- Tetrahydropterin to Sepiapterin

open access: yesPteridines, 2005
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a cofactor for aromatic amino acid hydroxylases and nitric oxide synthase. The biosynthetic pathway of BH4 from 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin (PPH4) includes two reduction steps catalyzed by sepiapterin rcductasc (SPR).

6-Acetonylisoxanthopterin: A Potent Inhibitor of Sepiapterin Reductase

open access: yesPteridines, 1991
The inhibitory effect of 6-/7-substituted (2'-oxo) pteridines and ichthyopterin was examined for sepiapterin reductase. 6-Acetonylisoxanthopterin and 6-acetonyl-2,4-diamino-7-hydroxypteridine showed pronounced competitive inhibitory effects to ...

Enhanced Nanoencapsulation of Sepiapterin within PEG-PCL Nanoparticles by Complexation with Triacetyl-Beta Cyclodextrin

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
In this work, we aimed to improve the encapsulation efficiency of sepiapterin (SP), the natural precursor of the essential cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) that displays mild water-solubility and a short biological half-life, within methoxy-poly ...

Effect of 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) on γ-Ray-induced Micronucleus Frequency in RAW264.7 Cells

open access: yesPteridines, 2006
The effect of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an endogenous antioxidant, on γ-ray-induced micronucleus frequency was examined in RAW264.7 cells. Exogenously added BH4 reduced the γ-ray-induced micronucleus frequency. Treatment with 1 mM sepiapterin, a
