Application

Cinnabarinic acid may be used in studies of the functions of components of the kynurenine metabolic pathway. It may be used to study it role as a metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGlu4R-specific) agonist.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Caspase Inducer; mGlu4R agonist
Cinnabarinic acid is a kynurenine pathway metabolite of tryptophan, produced by the oxidation of 3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid. Cinnabarinic acid leads to loss of mitochondrial respiration and apoptosis, and has also been shown to be an mGlu4R-specific agonist.
Caspase Inducer; mGlu4R agonist
Cinnabarinic acid (CA) connects between initiation of the kynurenine pathway and immune tolerance that is used to prevent neuroinflammation.

Tryptophan administration aggravates experimental mouse liver injury caused by carbon tetrachloride when 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid concentration elevates in serum. Tryptophan metabolism is changed by macrophages in injured liver. 3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid may be oxidized to cinnabarinic acid by injured mitochondria in the

Concentrated culture fluid of the wood-rotting basidiomycete Pycnoporus cinnabarinus showed biological activity against a variety of bacterial strains. The maximal inhibitory effect was obtained for Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Streptococcus. In general, inhibition was higher for Gram-positive than Gram-negative

The oxidative reactivities of four tryptophan metabolites in the kynurenine pathway were examined as a potential mechanism for their reported neurotoxicities and carcinogenicities. Neither quinolinic acid, a neurotoxin, nor its monocarboxylic analogue, picolinic acid, auto-oxidized over a wide pH range.

3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA)-derived oxidation products were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography with an electrochemical reactor and diode array detection and high-performance liquid chromatography with an electrochemical reactor and UV detection coupled with mass spectrometry. In addition to 3-HAA dimers such

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enhanced the formation of hydroxyl radicals, which were detected by using the e.s.r. spin-trapping technique, in a reaction mixture containing 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (or p-aminophenol), Fe3+ ions, EDTA and potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. The hydroxyl-radical formation enhanced
