Product Overview:
tetrahydro-L-Biopterin (BH4) is a cofactor that, in the presence of enzyme site iron, binds to phenylalanine hydroxylase, tryptophan or tyrosine hydroxylase, and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), to facilitate the production of aromatic amino acids, neurotransmitters, and nitric oxide (NO), respectively.{59239,1697,45725} It is formed de novo from GTP with GTP cyclohydrolase-1 (GCH1) catalyzing the rate limiting conversion of GTP to 7,8-dihydroneopterin (NH2TP) followed by subsequent processing by TS and SPR to convert NH2TP to BH4.{59240,45725} BH4 acts as a radical-trapping antioxidant that inhibits phospholipid oxidation in lipid membranes.{59240} It inhibits IKE- or RSL3-induced ferroptosis in HT-1080 cells (EC50s = 21 and 69 µM), as well as ferroptosis induced by knockout of glutathione peroxidase (Gpx4-/-) in immortalized mouse fibroblasts.{45725} BH4 also reduces RLS3-induced lipid peroxidation in murine fibroblasts and HT-1080 cells when used at a concentration of 50 µM.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
