Characterization and reactivity of photodimers of dihydroneopterin and dihydrobiopterin
7,8-Dihydrobiopterin (H2Bip) and 7,8-dihydroneopterin (H2Nep) belong to a class of heterocyclic compounds present in a wide range of living systems. H2Bip accumulates in the skin of patients suffering from vitiligo, whereas H2Nep is secreted by human macrophages when the cellular immune system is ac...
