Tryptophan is a substrate for the synthesis of the neurotransmitterSerotonin
Kynurenine Pathway is the major road of L-Tryptophan catabolism.
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous metabolite in the “kynurenine pathway” of tryptophan degradation and is • an antagonist at the glycine site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) • an antagonist at the alpha-7 nicotinic cholinergic receptors (7αnACh), whileQuinolinic acid is an agonist at the NMDA receptors

Kynurenic acid may modulate the synaptic transmission through blockade of the alpha 7 nicotine cholinergic rezeptors (α7nChRs).

H. Baran, et al., J. Neurochem., 1994pH optimum of KAT I and KAT II
In contrast to KAT II, which is not affected dramatically by • pH changes, • and shows no particular preference for aminoacceptors , • and is not inhibited by millimolar concentrations of amino acids (substrate for KAT), KAT I is highly dependent on the composition of the incubation medium.Differences between KAT I and KAT II
Rat‘s and human‘s Kynurenine Amino-transferase (KAT) is preferentially localized in microglia, astrocytes but is also present in discrete neuronal populations as has been demonstrated by immunhistochemical studies using KAT-antibodies.(R. C. Roberts et al., J. Comp. Neurol., 1992)
B) Induced lesions are blocked by the NMDA receptor antagonists MK801 or AP7, indicating that γ-acetylenic GABA caused excytotoxic damage is due to NMDA receptor activation. A) γ-Acetylenic GABA (GAG), a potent KAT inhibitor, produces axon-sparing neurodegeneration in CA1 and CA3 after focal injection into the rat hippocampus.O.G. McMaster H. Baran et al,. Exper. Neurology, 1993

Alterations of L-Kynurenine Metabolism in Neurodegenerative and Neuropsychiatric Diseases• Chorea Huntington• Olivo-Ponto-Cerebellar Atrophy • Temporal Lobe Epilepsy• Hepatic Encephalopathy• Cerebral Ischemia including Stroke• Hypoglycemia• AIDS• Polyneuropathy• Down‘Syndrom• Alzheimer‘s• and in other conditions including aging
We evaluated the biosynthetic machinery of kynurenic acid e.g. the content of L-kynurenine and kynurenic acid, as well as the activity of enzymes synthesizing kynurenic acid, kynurenine aminotransferases I and kynurenine aminotransferase II (KAT I and KAT II) in the frontal cortex and cerebellum of HIV-1 infected patients in respect to different types of pathology and these were classified as follows: HIV in brain (HIV); opportunistic infection (OPP); infarction of brain (INF); malignant lymphoma of brain (LY); and glial dystrophy (GD) and of control subjects.
Kynurenic acid (KYNA), an intermediate metabolite of L-kynurenine (L-KYN) , is a competitive antagonist of inotropic EAA receptors and a non competitive antagonist of 7 alpha nicotine cholinergic receptors and its involvement in memory deficit and cognition impairment has been suggested. Alterations of kynurenic acid metabolism in the brain after HIV-1 infection have been demonstrated. Tryptophan metabolitesKAT I; KAT II

Increased kynurenic acid levels in Putamen and Nucleus Caudate in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) but not in Frontal Cortex, Hippocampus and Cerebellum(H. Baran et al., J. Neural. Transm. 1999)0246810121416CO AD CO ADPutamenNucleus Caudate**

After HIV-infectionThe KAT I activity increased significantly in the frontal cortex of all pathological subgroups, i.e. OPP = 433 % > INF > LY > HIV > GD = 182 % of CO In the cerebellum, too, all pathological subgroups showed marked increase of KAT I activity OPP = 326 % > LY, HIV > GD > INF = 181 % of CO. On contrary, the activity of KAT II was moderately, but significantly, increased only in the frontal cortex of INF and OPP (174 and 160 % of CO) in the cerebellum of HIV, OPP and LY was comparable to control, while mildly reduced in INF and GD.

An increase of KYNA levels in the human central nervous system (CNS) is due to significant increase of KAT I activity and to lesser extend due to increase of KAT II activity. Blockade of glutamate NMDA and nicotine acetylcholinergic receptors is in part responsible for impaired memory, learning and cognition in various disorders.
Dementia and TreatmentIt is questionable if above mentioned anti-dementivemedication(s) influence(s) the Kynurenic acid synthesis(blockade).• Acetylcholine Esterase Inhibitors• NMDA Receptor Blocker – Memantine• Nootropica: Piracetam, Ginko biloba• Cerebrolysin

Clinical significances Human studies indicated that Cerebrolysin improves dementia symptoms and cognitive performance • in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and • in other types of senile dementia and • in elderly control subjects (Álvarez et al., 2000; (Rüther et al., 1994; Ruether et al., 2001; Crook et al., 2005; Álvarez et al., 2006; Muresanu et al., 2008) .
D-Cycloserine, known as a partial agonist at the glycine modulatory site of the glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, exerts anticonvulsive activities and improves cognitive function and….
SummaryLowering of KYNA content due to D-cycloserine inhibition of KATs activities might be involved in the postulated mechanism for D-cycloserine to act as a partial agonist at the glycine site of the NMDA receptor. We propose that this mechanism(s) is in part responsible for the improvement of symptoms like dementia, cognition and/or delusion in schizophrenia patients, Alzheimer’s, HIV-1 infected patients or Parkinson’s patients.
ConclusionsAll these observations, together with the fact that KYNA dose dependently increases oxygen consumption and decreases ATP synthesis of rat heart mitochondria (Baran et al., 2003), suggest the improvement of cell function in pathological conditions due to D-cycloserine action of lowering KYNA formation.

• Kynurenic acid acts as an antagonist at the excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors trigger-ing neuroproterctive and anticonvulsive acti-vities, and acts as an antagonist at the nicotinic cholinergic Receptors 7α-Ach-R.• Quinolinic acid is a powerful agonist at the EAA receptors with excitotoxic, convulsive activities.• 3-OH-kynurenine and 3-OH-anthranilic acid are free radical generators.• 3-OH-kynurenine is a cytotoxic agent.• 3-OH-anthranilic acid is carcinogenic agent with respect to bladder and brest malignants and • the function of anthranilic acid is still unknown.

Lowering of Kynurenic acid synthesis by blocking KATs activities using GAG and also AOAA (Y)can produce lesions indirectly by- metabolic derangement and /or- inhibition of kynurenic acid formation.XzY
(Gramsbergen et al., 1992 Brain Res)In old animals, • decline in the cerebral excitatory amino acid receptor densities with age corresponds with increased production of KYNA and with• age-related changes in astrocytes (hypertrophy).Age related changes in astrocytes are likely responsible for the increase in KYNA formation with age and may be involved in cognitive and memory dysfunction.
