Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to sapropterin dihydrochloride (CAS RN 69056-38-8). 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. Sapropterin dihydrochloride is indicated to reduce blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels in adult and pediatric patients one month of age and older with hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) due to tetrahydrobiopterin-responsive phenylketonuria (PKU). Sapropterin dihydrochloride is to be used in conjunction with a Phe-restricted diet.
