Disease relevance of tetrahydropteridine

  • Moreover, those tumor cells that were more resistant to ALP cytotoxicity (pleomorphic glioma, 78-FR-G-219/S4) had a 3-fold higher tetrahydropteridine-dependent cleavage activity than a more cytotoxic sensitive line (astrocytoma cells, 78-FR-G-299) [1].
  • Comparison of the microsomal activities of the tetrahydropteridine-dependent alkyl-cleavage enzyme present in astrocytoma 78-FR-G-299 cells and the pleomorphic glioma 78-FR-G-219/S4 cells to that found in normal skin fibroblasts and rat livers revealed a markedly reduced activity in the neoplastic cell lines [1].
