Sintesi

Sapropterin is a synthetic form of tetrahydrobiopterin, and its recycling depends on folate-related enzymes. Pyrimethamine inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, which is also involved in pterin metabolism, so sapropterin effect may be reduced. The clinical significance is uncertain.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Pyrimethamine and Sapropterin can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Pyrimethamine belongs to Anti Parasitic; Sapropterin belongs to Miscellaneous.

Livello di evidenza: Low

Perché avviene

Pyrimethamine, a DHFR inhibitor, may impair regeneration of tetrahydrobiopterin and so lessen sapropterin effect.

Cosa fare

Monitor blood phenylalanine more often when the two are combined, and adjust the sapropterin dose if control worsens.
