Hesperidin Plays Neuroprotective Effects Against Quinolinic Acid in Human SH-SY5Y Cells: Focusing on ROS Levels and Cell Cycle Arrest [PDF]
Background and objectives: In some neurodegenerative diseases, an aberrant accumulation of quinolinic acid is frequently associated with the loss of nerve cells and a condition known as neuritis.

Quinolinic Acid: Neurotoxin or Oxidative Stress Modulator? [PDF]
Quinolinic acid (2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, QUIN) is a well-known neurotoxin. Consequently, QUIN could produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are generated in reactions catalyzed by transition metals, especially iron (Fe). QUIN can form coordination complexes with iron.

CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

M. tuberculosis induces potent activation of IDO-1, but this is not essential for the immunological control of infection. [PDF]
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenesae-1 (IDO-1) catalyses the initial, rate-limiting step in tryptophan metabolism, thereby regulating tryptophan availability and the formation of downstream metabolites, including picolinic and quinolinic acid.

Accumulation of Quinolinic Acid Modulates the Pulmonary Immune Response During Influenza Infection. [PDF]
Influenza viruses cause a highly contagious, acute pulmonary disease that results in significant mortality each year. These infections trigger the production of interferons, known to induce the expression of the rate-limiting enzyme in the kynurenine ...
