3-Methylpyrazole-5-carboxylic acid is a potent and selective D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) (also known as DAAO, DAMOX and OXDA) inhibitor that protects DAO cells from oxidative stress induced by D-Serine. 3-Methylpyrazole-5-carboxylic acid specifically prevents formalin-induced tonic pain.

Non-competitive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) blockers induce schizophrenic-like behavior in healthy volunteers and exacerbate symptomatology in schizophrenic patients. Hence, a compound able to enhance NMDA neurotransmission by increasing levels of d-serine, an endogenous full agonist at the glycine site of the NMDA
The administration of the antilipolytic agents sodium nicotinate (1 mmole/kg i.p.) or sodium 5-methylpyrazole-3-carboxylate (0.5 or 1.0 mmole/kg i.p.) to alloxan-diabetic rats produced a significant reduction in the plasma concentration of free fatty acids and a slight reduction in blood
5-Methylpyrazole-3-carboxylic acid forms salts with basically substituted adenine bases of type (4) or (5), which have significantly more lipolysis inhibitory activity than the free acid itself. The substance tested, 6-amino-9-[2-hydroxy-3-(N-methyl-N-2-hydroxyethyl)-aminopropyl]-purine-5-methyl pyrazole-3-carboxylate (16), causes a significant reduction of serum FFA levels
L-Kynurenine (KYN), a tryptophan metabolite, is metabolized to kynurenic acid (KYNA), which is an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate and alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, by kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) I and KAT II. In this study, optically pure KYN, namely L-KYN or D-KYN
Antipsychotics, the drugs used currently for the treatment of schizophrenia, produce their therapeutic effects via the blockade of dopamine receptors. These compounds are, however, limited in their therapeutic efficacy and have side effect liabilities that also limit their use. Agents
