Biochemical characterization of quinolinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and inhibition of its activity by pyrazinamide. [PDF]
Quinolinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (QAPRTase, EC 2.4.2.19) is a key enzyme in the de novo pathway of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis and a target for the development of new anti-tuberculosis drugs.

This study demonstrates that patients with PCOS exhibit altered gut microbial profiles, and FMT from PCOS patients induces PCOS‐like symptoms in mice. Specifically, gut dysbiosis reduces 3‐HAA levels in the context of PCOS. Administration of 3‐HAA to mice alleviates PCOS by promoting de novo NAD+ synthesis.

Function of BID - a molecule of the bcl-2 family - in ischemic cell death in the brain [PDF]
Mitochondrial mechanisms, particularly the release of cytochrome c, play a role in the death of nerve and glial cells in cerebral ischemia. We have currently investigated whether BID, a proapoptotic molecule of the bcl-2 family and promoter of the ...

Current Evidence for a Role of the Kynurenine Pathway of Tryptophan Metabolism in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
The kynurenine pathway (KP) is the major metabolic pathway of the essential amino acid tryptophan (TRP). Stimulation by inflammatory molecules, such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ), is the trigger for induction of the KP, driving a complex cascade of production ...

(Quinoline-2-carboxylato-κO)(quinoline-2-carboxylic acid-κO)bis(quinoline-2-carboxylic acid-κ2N,O)potassium [PDF]
The K atom in the title complex, [K(C(10)H(6)NO(2))(C(10)H(7)NO(2))(3)], lies on a twofold rotation axis that relates one N, O-chelating quinoline-2-carb-oxy-lic acid to the other ; their N and O atoms are cis to each other in the distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry.

Plasma Levels of Kynurenines and B‐vitamins across Diagnostic Phases of Dementia and in Healthy Controls [PDF]
Abstract Background The tryptophan‐kynurenine pathway may play a role in cognitive decline in both neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular disorders. However, clinical studies investigating kynurenines so far have generally been small, and studies looking into prodromal disease stages are scarce.
