medicine | high sepiapterin reductase expression is significantly correlated to unfavorable neuroblastoma characteristics like high age at diagnosis, MYCN amplification, and high INSS stage. Sulfasalazine inhibits the growth of neuroblastoma cells in vitro, presumably due to the inhibition of sepiapterin reductase. The combination of sulfasalazine with alpha-difluoromethylornitine produces synergistic antiproliferative effects in vitro | Homo sapiens |

sulfasalazine | i.e. 5-((4-(2-pyridylsulfamoyl) phenyl)azo) salicylic acid or 2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-2-{4-[(pyridin-2-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid or SSZ, an FDA-approved salicylate-based anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory drug, inhibits sepiapterin reductase. Computational docking of inhibitor sulfasalazine into sepiapterin reductase. The receptor pocket comprises residues Gly11, Ser13, Arg14, Phe16 (region 1), Ala38, Arg39 (region 2), Asn97, Ala98, Gly99, Ser100 (region 3), Tyr167 (region 4), and Leu198, Thr200, Met202 (region 5). Sulfasalazine exhibits an IC50 value of 0.133 mM for SK-N-Be(2)c and 0.337 mM for LAN-5 cells; inhibits the growth of neuroblastoma cells in vitro, presumably due to the inhibition of sepiapterin reductase as predicted by computational docking of sulfasalazine into sepiapterin reductase.
