Background:
Kynurenic acid is a natural metabolite of tryptophan via the kynurenine pathway. It has pronounced effects on neuronal signaling and, thus, impacts diverse neurological systems. Kynurenic acid broadly antagonizes ionotopic glutamate receptors at high micromolar to millimolar concentrations and is used to pharmacologically block the activation of these receptors in vivo or in vitro. In addition, it reportedly has more potent effects at glutamate receptor subunit ζ-1 (Ki = 5.4 µM), GPR35 (EC50 = 39 µM), aryl hydrocarbon receptor (EC50 = 300 nM), and neuronal acetylcholine receptor α-7 (IC50 = 7 µM).
