Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Kynurenine may be used along with L-kynurenine to assess the specificity and kinetics of kynurenine metabolizing enzymes. D-Kynurenine is used to study the selectivity and activity of the G protein-coupled receptor, GPR109B. D-Kynurenine is used as a substrate in a fluorometric assay of D-amino acid oxidase.

Kynurenine (Kyn) plays an important role as an immune check-point molecule and regulates various immune responses through its aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr). Kyn is synthesized by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (Ido) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (Tdo). Ido contributes approximately 90% of tryptophan catabolism.

An aqueous solution of enantiomerically pure tryptophan (Trp), namely, D-Trp or L-Trp (100 mg/kg), was administered intraperitoneally to male Sprague-Dawley rats. The time-course profiles of the rat plasma concentrations of D-kynurenine (KYN), L-KYN, and kynurenic acid (KYNA), which are metabolites
