7,8-Dihydro-L-biopterin is a NOS uncoupling inducer with blood-brain barrier permeability, and it is a reduced non-conjugated pteridine. 7,8-Dihydro-L-biopterin is the main metabolite of 4-amino-tetrahydro-L-biopterin, and it undergoes photooxidation to form biopterin. 7,8-Dihydro-L-biopterin promotes the conversion of nitric oxide synthase to a superoxide-producing form, thereby increasing oxidative stress levels in the renal outer medulla and inducing apoptosis. 7,8-Dihydro-L-biopterin is sensitive to the inhibitory effect of SOD, and it can be applied to research related to salt-sensitive hypertension, moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases[1][2][3][4].
