Most attempts at rational development of new analgesics have failed, in part because chronic pain involves multiple processes that remain poorly understood. To improve translational success, one strategy is to select ...
Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of tetrahydrobiopterin(BH4)on the angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods BALB/c-nu mice were subcutaneously injected with Hep G-2 cells and randomly div...

Background:Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor of nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO).BH4 therapy can reverse the disease-related redox disequilibrium observed wi...
Objective To find out whether dexamethasone induces an uncoupling of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Methods & Results A major cause of eNOS uncoupling is a deficiency of its cofactor tetrahydrobiopte...
Multiple factors are involved in the etiology of cardiovascular disease(CVD). Pathological changes occur in a variety of cell types long before symptoms become apparent and diagnosis is made. Dysregulation of physiolo...

Background:This study aimed to investigate the mutation spectrum of the QDPR gene,to determine the effect of mutations on dihydropteridine reductase(DHPR)structure/function,to discuss the potential genotype-phenotype ...
The use of gene therapy has been intensively studied as a potential method to treat Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other degenerative brain diseases. However, the effects of experimental measures and approaches on the ...
A series of novel 2,4-diamino-pteridines (9a-l) were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in vitro. It was found that 9a, 9d, 9e, 9h, 9i and 91 showed potent inhibitory...
