T35976 | 6-Formylpterin | ||
Xanthine oxidase (XO) generates reactive oxygen species, including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as it oxidizes specific substrates in the presence of water and oxygen. 6-Formylpterin is an oxidized pterin produced by photolytic breakdown of folic acid. It binds to one of two active sites on XO nearly quantitatively and irreversibly and prevents the metabolism of other substrates at the second site, resulting in hetero-substrate" inhibition at nanomolar concentrations.
