Neopterin is an organic compound belonging to the pteridine class of heterocyclic compounds.

Neopterin belongs to the chemical group known as pteridines. It is synthesised by human macrophages upon stimulation with the cytokine interferon-gamma and is indicative of a pro-inflammatory immune status. Neopterin serves as a marker of cellular immune system activation. In humans neopterin follows a circadian (daily) and circaseptan (weekly) rhythm.
