Sapropterin dihydrochloride
Synonyms: (6R)-BH4 dihydrochloride; (6R)-Tetrahydro-L-biopterin dihydrochloride
Sapropterin dihydrochloride, a cofactor for phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), is an orally active compound that plays a crucial role in reducing blood concentrations of phenylalanine. It is primarily utilized in the study of phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder characterized by elevated levels of phenylalanine. Additionally, research has indicated that sapropterin dihydrochloride may exacerbate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), providing further insight into its biological mechanisms.
