Answer to Question 2

Sapropterin dihydrochloride is an oral formulation of the biologically active tetrahydrobiopterin, cofactor to the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme. Sapropterin is effective for lowering blood Phe levels in some individuals with PKU by activating residual activity of the PAH enzyme. Sapropterin improves dietary Phe tolerance, allowing more dietary consumption of natural sources of protein.
