Measurement of plasma levels of both KYNA and QA in mice treated with KMO inhibitors.

Kynurenic acid/Quinolinic acid ELISA pack

KYNA and QA along the Kynurenine Pathway

Measurement of plasma levels of both KYNA and QA in mice treated with KMO inhibitors.

Mice were treated with two selective KMO inhibitors – Ro-618048 & UPF648 – at two different doses each. Plasma samples were collected before treatment and at 1h30 and 6h post-treatment. KYNA and QA levels were then quantified by mean of ELISA (IS-I-0200 and IS-I-0100). As depicted above, blockade of KMO time- and dose-dependently favors the degradation of Kynurenine into KYNA. Interestingly, no major effect is observed on QA level thus suggesting compensatory mechanism to maintain stable circulating QA level.

Through the degradation of L-Tryptophan, the Kynurenine pathway (KP) generates a series of catabolites collectively known as Kynurenines, which can exert immunomodulatory and/or neuroactive properties. Known to respectively harbor neuroprotective and neurotoxic functions, Kynurenic (KYNA) and Quinolinic (QA) acids are found to be dysregulated in several neuroinflammatory disorders including Parkinson and Alzheimer disease but also Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Multiple Sclerosis.

The two kits included in the pack are ready to use, optimized for the quantitation of Kynurenic Acid (KYNA) and Quinolinic Acid (QA) within serum and plasma samples. These easy-to-use competitive assays are well-suited for both small and large series of samples. Working with a 25-50µL sample volume, these assays enable pre-clinical and clinical sample testings.
