The conversion of deutero-N15 tryptophan to quinolinic acid by the rat.
Quinolinic acid (pyridine-cr , /3-dicarboxylic acid) has been isolated from rat urine after administration of tryptophan to rats (1). It has been suggested that quinolinic acid is formed via 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid by oxidative cleavage of the benzene ring in the 3-4 position, followed by closure incorporating the amino nitrogen in a pyridine ring (1). In this paper are reported the results o...
متن کاملQuinolinic acid excretion and metabolism in man.
In 1946, Rosen e2 al. (1) showed that administration of tryptophan to rats resulted in an additional excretion of nicotinic acid and Nl-methylnicotinamide (Nl-Me). Singal et al. (2) found, in addition to these, increased excretion of another metabolite which could be converted to nicotinic acid by autoclaving in 1 N sulfuric acid solution. Henderson isolated this metabolite from the urine of ra...
متن کاملHuman macrophages convert L-tryptophan into the neurotoxin quinolinic acid.
Substantial increases in the concentrations of the excitotoxin and N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor agonist quinolinic acid (QUIN) occur in human patients and non-human primates with inflammatory diseases. Such increases were postulated to be secondary to induction of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in inflammatory cells, particularly macrophages, by interferon-gamma. To test this hypothesis, human pe...
متن کاملHuman microglia convert l-tryptophan into the neurotoxin quinolinic acid.
Immune activation leads to accumulations of the neurotoxin and kynurenine pathway metabolite quinolinic acid within the central nervous system of human patients. Whereas macrophages can convert L-tryptophan to quinolinic acid, it is not known whether human brain microglia can synthesize quinolinic acid. Human microglia, peripheral blood macrophages and cultures of human fetal brain cells (astro...
متن کاملEffects of Tranilast on the Urinary Excretion of Kynurenic and Quinolinic Acid Under Conditions of L Tryptophan Loading
The pathogenesis of morphea and other cutaneous sclerosing disorders remain poorly understood. Although they are considered to be autoimmune disorders, abnormal tryptophan metabolism may be involved. Current therapy is directed to supressing the autoimmune response. Demonstration of a therapeutic response to manipulation of the kynurenine pathway would both support a role for abnormal tryptopha...
