General description

A cell-permeable thiazolylbenzenesulfonamide compound that acts as a potent, competitive and reversible inhibitor of kynurenine-3-monooxygenase activity (Ki = 4.8 nM; IC50 = 37 nM). Reported to increase the circulating levels of kynurenic acid (KYNA), an excitatory amino acid receptors antagonist, lower reactive oxygen species [ROS], reduce neuronal loss and enhance the survival rate in several neuronal disease models. An orally bioavilable KMO Inhibitor II, JM6, a prodrug of Ro 61-8048 is also available (Cat. No. 420361).

Preparation Note
