Descriptor neopterina
Entry term(s) 2-amino-6-(1,2,3-trihidroxipropilo)-4(3H)-pteridinona
Scope note: Derivado pteridínico presente en los líquidos orgánicos; se aprecian niveles elevados de esta sustancia como consecuencia de la activación del sistema inmunitario, enfermedades malignas, rechazo de aloinjertos e infecciones víricas (Stedman, 25a ed). La neopterina también actúa como precursora en la biosíntesis de BIOPTERINAS.
