Depending upon cell type BH 4 can be generated by several different (alternative) de novo biosynthesis pathways as well as by two different salvage pathways
However, if the recommended dose is significantly exceeded, it can lead to unpleasant side effects (NIH, 2023)
The peptide retains activity in human gastric juice for more than 24 hours, tolerates pH from 1 to 11, and resists multiple proteolytic enzymes, properties that derive from the high proline content (four of fifteen residues) and the absence of cleavage-prone motifs
Some researchers have found that miR-382-5p expression is down-regulated and SLC7A11 expression is up-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues, and lidocaine targets the miR-382-5p/SLC7A11 axis (which up-regulates miR-382-5p expression and down-regulates SLC7A11 expression) to promote ferroptosis in ovarian cancer cells and exert anti-tumor activity (97)
