Quinolinic acid (abbreviated QUIN or QA) CAS 89-00-9 also known as pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid with a pyridine backbone. It is the biosynthetic precursor to nicotine. Quinolinic acid is a downstream product of the kynurenine pathway, which metabolizes the amino acid tryptophan.
Quinolinic acid CAS 89-00-9 is a pyridinedicarboxylic acid that is pyridine substituted by carboxy groups at positions 2 and 3. It is a metabolite of tryptophan. It has a role as a NMDA receptor agonist, a human metabolite, a mouse metabolite and an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a quinolinate(1-) and a quinolinate.
Quinolinic acid CAS 89-00-9 is a metabolite of tryptophan with a possible role in neurodegenerative disorders. Elevated CSF levels of quinolinic acid are correlated with the severity of neuropsychological deficits in patients who have AIDS. Quinolinic acid (QUIN) CAS 89-00-9 is a product of tryptophan metabolism that can act as an endogenous brain excitotoxin when released by activated macrophages. A metabolite of tryptophan with a possible role in neurodegenerative disorders. Elevated CSF levels of quinolinic acid are correlated with the severity of neuropsychological deficits in patients who have AIDS.
