7,8-Dihydroneopterin and neopterin are secreted by human and primate macrophages after activation by interferon-gamma in a ratio of 2:1. 7,8-Dihydroneopterin is known to suppress radical-mediated processes, but it is also able in the presence of iron ions to generate superoxide

Activated cell-mediated immunity is known to be accompanied by elevated concentrations of 7,8-dihydroneopterin which in high concentrations was found to interfere with the oxidant-antioxidant balance. In this study we investigated whether 7,8-dihydroneopterin mediates apoptosis of Jurkat T-lymphocytes via a CrmA-

The rise in plasma neopterin observed with increasing severity of vascular disease is a strong indicator of the inflammatory nature of atherosclerosis. Plasma neopterin originates as the oxidation product of 7,8-dihydroneopterin secreted by gamma-interferon stimulated macrophages within atherosclerotic plaques. Neopterin

Plasma neopterin is a clinical marker of inflammation. Interferon-gamma triggers 7,8-dihydroneopterin and its oxidation product, neopterin, to be released from macrophages. 7,8-dihydroneopterin is a potent antioxidant which can protect macrophages from oxidative damage in vitro. This study examined whether 7,8-dihydroneopterin/neopterin

Folate derivatives are essential cofactors in the biosynthesis of purines, pyrimidines and amino acids across all forms of life. Mammals uptake folate from their diets, whereas most bacteria must synthesize folate de novo. Therefore, the enzymes in the folate biosynthetic
