Sapropterin dihydrochloride is a metabolic modulator used in the treatment of phenylketonuria.
MFDS ingredient code M262983
Sapropterin dihydrochloride is a synthetic form of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a coenzyme involved in the metabolism of certain amino acids in the body. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals to improve metabolic abnormalities in patients with phenylketonuria. This ingredient helps normalize phenylalanine metabolism.
Sapropterin dihydrochloride acts as a coenzyme for phenylalanine hydroxylase in the body, aiding the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine. This reduces abnormally high levels of phenylalanine, alleviating metabolic disorders.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Sapropterin dihydrochloride is not simply a vitamin but a coenzyme that assists the function of specific enzymes. Unlike other metabolic modulators, it acts directly on the genetic defect in patients with phenylketonuria to produce its effects.
