Bioactivity 3-Hydroxykynurenine, a metabolite of tryptophan, is a potential endogenous neurotoxin whose increased levels have been described in several neurodegenerative disorders. 3-Hydroxykynurenine induces neuronal apoptosis[1].
Invitro 3-Hydroxykynurenine-induced neuronal cell death shows several features of apoptosis[1]. 3-Hydroxykynurenine is a metabolic intermediate of the kynurenine pathway, the major metabolic pathway of tryptophan (Trp)[1].3-Hydroxykynurenine acts as an endogenous neurotoxin in the brain under pathological conditions[1]. 3-Hydroxykynurenine (20-100 μM) significantly inhibits CD4+ T-cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 of approximately 70 μM[2].3-Hydroxykynurenine (20-100 μM) induces significant CD4+ T-cell-mediated cell death in a dose-dependent manner[2].
