3-Hydroxykynurenine as a substrate/activator for mushroom tyrosinase

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2003
3-Hydroxykynurenine is a tryptophan metabolite with an o-aminophenol structure. It is both a tyrosinase activator and a substrate, reducing the lag phase, stimulating the monophenolase activity, and being oxidized to xanthommatin. In the early stage of monophenol hydroxylation, catechol accumulation takes place, whereas 3-hydroxykynurenine is ...

Increased brain concentrations of a neurotoxin, 3-hydroxykynurenine, in Huntington's disease

Neuroscience Letters, 1992
Concentrations of the neurotoxic tryptophan metabolite, 3-hydroxykynurenine, were determined in brain tissue taken post-mortem from patients with Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease. 3-Hydroxykynurenine was substantially and significantly increased in all three brain areas studied in Huntington's disease, but not significantly increased in the

3‐Hydroxykynurenine potentiates quinolinate but not NMDA toxicity in the rat striatum

European Journal of Neuroscience, 1999
Abstractl‐3‐Hydroxykynurenine (L‐3‐HK) and quinolinate (QUIN) are two metabolites of the kynurenine pathway, the major route of tryptophan degradation in mammals. L‐3‐HK is a known generator of highly reactive free radicals, whereas QUIN is an endogenous excitotoxin acting specifically at N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA) receptors.

Oxidation of 3‐hydroxykynurenine. A reexamination

Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 1988
AbstractThe oxidation mixture of 3‐hydroxykynurenine (1), treated with aqueous acetic anhydride and, subsequently, with acidic methanol, yields the 1‐hydroxy‐3‐carbomethoxy‐5‐methoxy‐11‐(β‐aspartoyl‐N‐acetyl‐methyl ester)pyrido[3,2‐a]phenoxazine (5), the 1‐hydroxy‐11‐(β‐aspartoyl‐N‐acetyl‐methyl ester)‐5.H‐pyrido[3,2‐a]‐phenoxazin‐5‐one (6), the 1 ...
