Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Sapropterin ((6R)-BH4; (6R)-Tetrahydro-L-biopterin) is an orally active phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) cofactor, which is effective in reducing blood phenylalanine concentrations. Sapropterin can be used in study of phenylketonuria (PKU) phenylketonuria. Sapropterin can aggravate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Dosage:100 mg/kg/day

Administration:oral; daily; 22 days
-
Result:Reached higher maximum clinical EAE scores and showed a significant increase in the area under the curve (AUC) of EAE scores.
Elevated plasma levels of long-chain ceramides (C14Cer, C16Cer, C18Cer, C20Cer, C18GluCer, C24:1GluCer).
Reduced plasma linolenic acid (FA18:3) levels and increased plasma levels of the endocannabinoid 1+2AG.
Showed no significant effect on peripheral T-cell proliferation or subpopulations in the spleen, but increased infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells in the spinal cord.
