| 20100234385 | Compsition Containing Biopterin and Method for Using The Same - It is thought that applications and use of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), which is used as a pharmaceutical, will expand due to its superior efficacy.

Further, it is difficult for BH4 to permeate through a blood-brain barrier, so that BH4 concentrations in the brain tend not to increase under the present conditions. Biopterins are oxidized form of BH4, stable to oxidation, easy to handle, and can be produced inexpensively. The inventors found that administration of biopterin can be expected to demonstrate effects equal to or greater than those of administration of BH4. On the basis of the result, it was first clarified that administration of a composition containing biopterin causes increase in BH4 concentration in the body (especially BH4 concentration in the brain, which is difficult to be increased by BH4 administration) to demonstrate sufficient actions. | 09-16-2010 |
