Biochem/physiol Actions

UPF-648 is a potent, active site-targeting kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO; kynurenine 3-hydroxylase) inhibitor (IC50 = 20 nM) that prevents productive binding of the substrate L-kynurenine by perturbing the local active-site structure. UPF-648 protects against neurodegeneration in a murine (30 mg/kg, i.p.) and a Drosophila (100 μM in maize media) model of Huntington′s disease by shifting kynurenine pathway metabolism towards enhanced neuroprotective kynurenic acid (KYNA) formation and away from the free radicals generator 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) and the excitotoxic quinolinic acid (QUIN).

Neuroactive metabolites of the kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan degradation have been implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington's disease (HD) [1]. A central hallmark of HD is neurodegeneration caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin (htt)

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is aggressive and has a poor prognosis. Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO), a crucial kynurenine metabolic enzyme, is involved in inflammation, immune response and tumorigenesis. We aimed to study the role of KMO in TNBC. KMO alteration and

Inhibition of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO), an enzyme in the eukaryotic tryptophan catabolic pathway (that is, kynurenine pathway), leads to amelioration of Huntington's-disease-relevant phenotypes in yeast, fruitfly and mouse models, as well as in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. KMO
