Biological Activity for SPRi 3

SPRi 3 is a potent sepiapterin reductase (SPR) inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 53 - 74 nM for human SPR). Inhibits BH4 synthesis pathway and attenuates proliferation in naive CD4⁺ T cells. Suppresses proliferation of human effector CD4⁺ T cells following stimulation. Reduces SPR activity in mouse primary cultures of sensory neurons (IC₅₀ = 450 nM). Ameliorates colitis, suppressing the intestinal infiltration of T cells and other immune cells in vivo. Also reduces immune-cell infiltration into mouse lungs. Reduces neuropathic and inflammatory pain in mouse models.
