DrugBank ID	DB00360
Name	Sapropterin
Groups	approved investigational
Description	Sapropterin (tetrahydrobiopterin or BH4) is a cofactor in the synthesis of nitric oxide. It is also essential in the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine by the enzyme phenylalanine-4-hydroxylase; the conversion of tyrosine to L-dopa by the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase; and conversion of tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan via tryptophan hydroxylase.
Synonyms	Sapropterin dihydrochloride 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrobiopterin Tetrahydrobiopterin 2-Amino-6-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydoro-4(1H)-pteridinone Sapropterina Sapropterin 6R-BH4 6R-L-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin 6R-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin sapropterinum R-THBP (6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (6R)-L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin (−)-(6R)-2-amino-6-((1R,2S)-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4(3H)-pteridinone
