kynurenic acid and AIDS Dementia Complex

kynurenic acid has been researched along with AIDS Dementia Complex in 4 studies

Kynurenic Acid: A broad-spectrum excitatory amino acid antagonist used as a research tool.
kynurenic acid : A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid that is quinoline-2-carboxylic acid substituted by a hydroxy group at C-4.

AIDS Dementia Complex: A neurologic condition associated with the ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME and characterized by impaired concentration and memory, slowness of hand movements, ATAXIA, incontinence, apathy, and gait difficulties associated with HIV-1 viral infection of the central nervous system. Pathologic examination of the brain reveals white matter rarefaction, perivascular infiltrates of lymphocytes, foamy macrophages, and multinucleated giant cells. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp760-1; N Engl J Med, 1995 Apr 6;332(14):934-40)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"There is good evidence that the kynurenine pathway (KP) and one of its products, quinolinic acid (QUIN), play a role in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases, in particular AIDS dementia complex."3.71Kynurenine pathway metabolism in human astrocytes: a paradox for neuronal protection. ( Armati, PJ; Brew, BJ; Croitoru, J; Guillemin, GJ; Kapoor, V; Kerr, SJ; Smith, DG; Smythe, GA, 2001)
" In addition, Tat, at similar concentrations, was toxic to human fetal neurons in culture."1.29Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 tat activates non-N-methyl-D-aspartate excitatory amino acid receptors and causes neurotoxicity. ( Brownstone, RM; Geiger, JD; Knudsen, BE; Magnuson, DS; Nath, A, 1995)
