Description | 7,8-Dihydroneopterin, an inflammation marker, induces cellular apoptosis in astrocytes and neurons via enhancement of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression. 7,8-Dihydroneopterin can be used in the research of neurodegenerative diseases[1]. |

In Vitro | 7,8-Dihydroneopterin is a heterocyclic pteridine which produced and secreted by monocytes/macrophages upon stimulation with the cytokine interferon-y (IFN-y)[1]. 7,8-Dihydroneopterin (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 mM; 2 days and 5 days) inhibits growth of U373MG astroeytes[1] . Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: Astrocytic cell line U373MG Concentration: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 mM Incubation Time: 2 days and 5 days Result: After 2 days of treatment, a significantly lower cell number was observed for those cells treated with 5 mM and 2.5 mM. After incubation for 5 days concentrations of 1-5 mM completely abrogated acid phosphatase activity to background level found for complete cell culture medium. A significant cell growth inhibition was also visible for the cells incubated with 0.5 mM, whereas 0.1 mM did not alter cell growth. |
