6α,β‐Tetrahydro‐ L ‐[3′‐ 2 H 1 ]biopterin ([3′‐ 2 H 1 ]‐ 1 ) was administered orally to two primapterinuric patients in order to investigate the biosynthetic pathway of 7‐substituted pterins in humans. L ‐Primapterin ( 2 ) and L ‐biopterin were isolated from urine after loading and measured by GC/MS. L ‐Biopterin and L ‐primapterin were labelled with 2 H to an equal extent. From this result, one can conclude that L ‐primapterin is formed from tetrahydro‐ L ‐biopterin, very probably via an intramolecular rearrangement.
