Abstract
Molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A has successfully been treated in a small number of children with daily intravenous administration of cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate. Pharmacodynamic data for this novel treatment have not been published and alternative dosing intervals have not been explored. We monitored pharmacodynamic biomarkers of sulfite oxidase and xanthine oxidoreductase activity in three patients with MoCD-A for a period of 2 to 9 months after discontinuation of cPMP substitution. We found that the clinical and metabolic effects were sustained for longer than expected, over 7 days at least. Our data implicate a biological half-life of the molybdenum cofactor dependent enzyme activities of approximately 3 days and suggest the possibility that less frequent than once daily dosing intervals could be a safe alternative to current practice.
