Biochemical characterization of quinolinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and inhibition of its activity by pyrazinamide. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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.

Disruption of Gut Microbiota‐Mediated De Novo NAD+ Synthesis Contributes to the Development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2002
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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]

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section E Structure Reports Online, 2010
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]

open access: yesAlzheimers Dement
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.

TSPO: kaleidoscopic 18-kDa amid biochemical pharmacology, control and targeting of mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) localizes in the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) of cells and is readily up-regulated under various pathological conditions such as cancer, inflammation, mechanical lesions and neurological diseases. Able to bind
