L-(-)-Neopterin (L-erythro-Neopterin) is a cholinergic receptor that acts as a competitive antagonist, countering the inhibitory effects of pteridine diuretics on the growth of Crithidia fasciculata. L-(-)-Neopterin can be used in research related to the nervous system and purine metabolism[1]. | [References]
