General description
Acetyl-6-formylpterin is a vitamin B9 (folate) metabolite and ligand to MHC class I-related protein 1 (MR1) antigens presented on mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells.
Acetyl-6-formylpterin, also known as 2-Acetamido-6-formylpteridin-4-one, is a pteridine derivative and a reductive amination product derived from folic acid. This unique compound undergoes a reductive amination reaction, generating formyl groups that can be subsequently acetylated or alkylated, resulting in the formation of stable compounds with diverse properties. Current research highlights the multifaceted nature of this compound, indicating its potential biological activities, including neuroprotective, antitumor, and anticancer properties.
Moreover, acetyl-6-formylpterin serves as a precursor in the synthesis of 2′-hydroxy-7,8-dihydrofolate, a metabolite associated with para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) in M. tuberculosis. This compound′s versatility and involvement in various biological processes make it an intriguing molecule for metabolomics and biochemical research.

The antigen-presenting molecule MR1 presents vitamin B-related antigens (VitB antigens) to mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells through an uncharacterized pathway. We show that MR1, unlike other antigen-presenting molecules, does not constitutively present self-ligands. In the steady state it accumulates in
