3-hydroxykynurenine has been researched along with Nodding Syndrome in 1 studies

3-hydroxykynurenine: RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation
3-hydroxykynurenine : A hydroxykynurenine that is kynurenine substituted by a hydroxy group at position 3.
hydroxykynurenine : A hydroxy-amino acid that is kynurenine substituted by a single hydroxy group at unspecified position. A "closed" class.

Nodding Syndrome: Unexplained neurologic condition characterized by episodes of atonic seizures, convulsions or staring spells with further cognitive decline.

"We therefore explored vitamin B6 deficiency and resulting high 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) levels as risk factor for nodding syndrome in Northern Uganda."5.43Reduced plasma concentrations of vitamin B6 and increased plasma concentrations of the neurotoxin 3-hydroxykynurenine are associated with nodding syndrome: a case control study in Gulu and Amuru districts, Northern Uganda.
