pubmed:abstractText
Luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of normal human monocytes activated by zymosan is demonstrated to be inhibited by tetrahydrobiopterin in a concentration-dependent manner. The reduced pterins tetrahydrobiopterin, dihydrobiopterin, and dihydroneopterin are all shown to be readily oxidized by the hydroxyl radical. The susceptibility of reduced pterins to free radical attack may explain the inhibition of chemiluminescence observed and an additional role of reduced pterins as free radical scavengers in tissues is considered.
