| Bioactivity | L-Sepiapterin (Sepiapterin) is a precursor of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). L-Sepiapterin improves endothelial dysfunction in small mesenteric arteries from db/db mice, and induces angiogenesis. L-Sepiapterin inhibits cell proliferation and migration of ovarian cancer cells via down-regulation of p70S6K-dependent VEGFR-2 expression[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | L-Sepiapterin (Sepiapterin) (0.1-10 μM; 24 hpurs) Iinduces cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner[1].L-Sepiapterin (1-50 μM; 20 minutes) significantly inhibits the phosphorylation of VEGF-A-induced (50 ng/ml) p70S6K[1].L-Sepiapterin inhibits VEGF-A-induced cell proliferation and migration through NO-independent mechanism[1].
