7,8-Dihydroneopterin is a pteridine with antioxidant activities.[1] It scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals in a cell-free assay when used at concentrations ranging from 20 to 100 μM. 7,8-Dihydroneopterin (2-10 μM) inhibits copper ion-induced oxidation of LDL in a cell-free assay and decreases thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) produced by THP-1 cells cultured with LDL.[2],[3] It inhibits necrosis induced by oxidized LDL (oxLDL) in U937, but not THP-1, cells when used at a concentration of 200 μM.[4]
