Popis: Purpose of the present study was to investigate in human neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines the effects of GTP depletion induced by mycophenolic acid (MPA) (the most specific IMP dehydrogenase inhibitor): 1. on biopterin biosynthesis, using cytotoxic drug concentrations in short-term experiments; 2. on cellular differentiation and extracellular matrix remodelling, using drug concentrations below those inducing apoptosis.1
