Application

Ro 61-8048 has been used as a kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) inhibitor to study its effects on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) concentration in hepatocytes of mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibition of kynurenine 3-hydroxylase by Ro 61-8048 reduces the episodes of dystonia and dyskinesias induced by decreased levels of kynurenic acid.
Ro 61-8048 is an inhibitor of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) that increases kynurenic acid levels and reduces extracellular glutamate in the brain.

Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is caused by the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense or Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, and is a major cause of systemic and neurological disability throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Following early-stage disease, the trypanosomes cross the blood-brain

The effects of the novel kynurenine 3-hydroxylase inhibitor 3,4-dimethoxy-N-[4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]benzenesulfonamide (Ro 61-8048) on severity of dystonia were examined in dt(sz) mutant hamsters, an animal model of paroxysmal dystonia, in which stress precipitates dystonic episodes.

Striatal dysfunctions seem to play a key role in the pathophysiology of dystonia in the dt(sz) mutant hamster, a model of paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia, in which stress precipitates dystonic episodes. Previous examinations have shown changes in kynurenic acid levels and

In mammals, the majority of the essential amino acid tryptophan is degraded via the kynurenine pathway (KP). Several KP metabolites play distinct physiological roles, often linked to immune system functions, and may also be causally involved in human diseases including
