In vivo studies of the effectiveness of various forms of calcium pterin reveal significant antitumor activity associated with (1:4, mol/mol) calcium pterin (CaPterin), (1:2, mol/mol) calcium pterin, dipterinyl calcium pentahydrate (DCP), as well as unexpectedly for a calcium chloride dihydrate solution in nude mice with MDA-MB-231 xenographs. Stepwise regression analysis of nine plasma cytokine and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) metabolite levels identified four effects correlated to (1:4, mol/mol) calcium pterin administration: (1) decreased IL-6, (2) increased IL-10, (3) decreased IFN-gamma, and (4) increased kynurenine. CONCLUSION: (1:4, mol/mol) CaPterin exerts significant (by Spearman rank order correlation) dose-response antitumor activity in nude mice with MDA-MB-231 xenographs, and sustains both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory changes in the levels of certain plasma factors.
