Kynurenic acid sodium salt (CAS 492-27-3 (non-salt))
QUICK LINKS
Kynurenic acid sodium salt is a water-soluble form of kynurenic acid that is used extensively in neuroscience and biochemistry research. As a known endogenous antagonist at excitatory amino acid receptors, this compound is applied in studies to investigate the glutamatergic system and its role in neurophysiological processes. The research on kynurenic acid sodium salt includes its effect on neurotransmitter release and its potential modulatory action at the glycine site of the NMDA receptor. Additionally, it is utilized in studies exploring the tryptophan-kynurenine metabolic pathway, which is significant for understanding the catabolism of tryptophan and the production of metabolites with neuroactive properties. Kynurenic acid sodium salt is also of interest in the study of neuroprotective mechanisms due to its ability to mitigate excitotoxicity, a harmful process implicated in various neurological conditions.
