Effects of quinolinate and nitro-, or thio- substituted analogs of quinolinate on glutamate receptor-mediated neurotoxicity in cerebellar granule cell cultures

Creator:

Zhang, Jinying

Abstract:

Quinolinate (QUIN) is an endogenous neurotoxic product of the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. Quinolinate is a selective agonist of the NMDA family of glutamate receptors and, as such, may play a role in the pathology of a number of major central nervous system (CNS) disorders. These include both chronic...
