Kynurenic acid and cancer: facts and controversies [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2019 Abstract Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous tryptophan metabolite exerting neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties in the brain. However, its importance on the periphery is still not fully elucidated. KYNA is produced endogenously in various types of peripheral cells, tissues and by gastrointestinal microbiota.

Reactions of kynurenic acid with hypobromous acid and hypochlorous acid
Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, 2021 Kynurenic acid, a tryptophan metabolite, acts as antagonist or agonist of several receptors. Hypobromous acid (HOBr) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) are generated by eosinophils and neutrophils. At inflammation sites, kynurenic acid may encounter HOBr and HOCl to generate products.

Interaction of hypothalamic GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e and excitatory amino acid receptors controlling heart rate in rats [PDF]
, 1991 We have previously shown that microinjection of drugs that impair gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated synaptic inhibition into the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) of rats generates cardiovascular and behavioral changes that mimic the response to ...

Improvement of kynurenine aminotransferase-II inhibitors guided by mimicking sulfate esters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The mammalian kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) enzymes are a family of related isoforms that are pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent, responsible for the irreversible transamination of kynurenine to kynurenic acid.
