Description

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].

IC50 & Target

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

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].

Cell Proliferation Assay[2]

Cell Line: CD3/CD28 bead-stimulated CD4+ T cells
Concentration: 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 μM
Incubation Time: 72 hours
Result: Significantly inhibited CD4+ T-cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of approximately 70 μM.
In Vivo

3-Hydroxykynurenine administration (560 mg/kg IP on a daily basis on days 1 to 7, days 7 to 14, or days 1 to 14) results in significant prolongation of graft survival whether administered between days 1 to 7, days 7 to 14, or days 1 to 14[2].

Animal Model: BALB/c (H2d) mice[2]
Dosage: 560 mg/kg
Administration: IP injection
Result: There was significant prolongation of graft survival in all treatment groups in comparison to the controls.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
