Description

General description

An orally bioavailable in-vivo prodrug of KMO Inhibitor I, Ro 61-8048 (Cat. No. 420360) that is shown to be metabolically unstable and slowly release Ro 61-8048 in blood and act as a neuroprotectant. Blocks KMO peripherally (IC₅₀ = 4 µM) and sustainingly elevates kynurenic acid (KYNA) brain levels, an antagonist of excitatory amino acid receptors. Shown to prevent synaptic loss and behavioral deficits in AD and HD mouse model and increase the survival.

Packaging
