摘要: The in vitro potency of neopterin (NP) as an antioxidant and its vivo activity to suppress alloxan-induced diabetes were investigated. reduced form neopterin, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroneopterin (NPH-4), showed extremely high superoxide anion radical scavenging two assay systems, i.e. xanthine/xanthine oxidase- macrophage/phorbol myrislate acetate (PMA)-reaction systems. NPH-4 also inhibited the oxidation linoleic acid about effectively uric acid. Furthermore, NP suppressed mouse diabetes. These results suggest that pteridines play important role endogenous antioxidant.
