Rep. of Germany (Received August 1991) Introduction Publications, workshops, and symposia on pteridines have shown the lack of unified criteria to name and abbreviate this family of compounds. Since the pteridine field has grown very rapidly in the last decades, and it is foreseen that it will continue to do so, much confusion can be avoided if rules are adopted regarding nomenclature and use of abbreviations. Three years ago , the IUPAC-IUB Joint Commission of Biochemical Nomenclature published some recommendations in the nomenclature of folates (Eur. J . Biochem. 1987, 168: 251-253), which are summarized as follows: It was proposed that the compounds of the folic acid groups are based on pteroic acid, which is derived from the 4-(pteridin-6-ylmethyl)aminobenzoic acid skeleton. The salts and the acyl group deduced from the pteroic acid are named pteroates
