kynurenic acid and Migraine Disorders

kynurenic acid has been researched along with Migraine Disorders in 11 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.

Migraine Disorders: A class of disabling primary headache disorders, characterized by recurrent unilateral pulsatile headaches. The two major subtypes are common migraine (without aura) and classic migraine (with aura or neurological symptoms). (International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd ed.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In recent years, migraine research focused on tryptophan, which is metabolized via two main pathways, the serotonin and kynurenine pathways, both of which produce neuroactive molecules that influence pain processing and stress response by disturbing neural and brain hypersensitivity and by interacting with molecules that control vascular and inflammatory actions."5.22Exploring the Tryptophan Metabolic Pathways in Migraine-Related Mechanisms. ( Körtési, T; Spekker, E; Vécsei, L, 2022)
" Neurogenic inflammation is presumed to be an important factor in migraine pathophysiology, mediated by the activation of primary neurons, leading to the release of various pro-inflammatory neuropeptides and neurotransmitters such as Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)."4.95Migraine, Neurogenic Inflammation, Drug Development - Pharmacochemical Aspects. ( Edvinsson, L; Fulop, F; Lukacs, M; Tajti, J; Toldi, J; Vecsei, L, 2017)
"Migraine is one of the most disabling neurological conditions and associated with high socio-economic costs."2.61The Therapeutic Impact of New Migraine Discoveries. ( Edvinsson, L; Fülöp, F; Lukács, M; Tajti, J; Toldi, J; Vécsei, L, 2019)
"Though migraine and neurodegenerative disorders have a high socioeconomic impact, their therapeutic management has not been fully addressed."2.52Novel kynurenic acid analogues in the treatment of migraine and neurodegenerative disorders: preclinical studies and pharmaceutical design. ( Csati, A; Fulop, F; Majlath, Z; Szok, D; Tajti, J; Toldi, J; Vecsei, L, 2015)
"The primary cause and the origin of migraine attacks are enigmatic."2.47Migraine is a neuronal disease. ( Bohár, Z; Fejes, A; Kuris, A; Párdutz, A; Tajti, J; Toldi, J; Tuka, B; Vámos, E; Vécsei, L, 2011)
"Migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder where trigeminovascular activation plays a key role."1.46Topical dura mater application of CFA induces enhanced expression of c-fos and glutamate in rat trigeminal nucleus caudalis: attenuated by KYNA derivate (SZR72). ( Edvinsson, L; Fülöp, F; Lukács, M; Tajti, J; Toldi, J; Vécsei, L; Warfvinge, K, 2017)
"Results KYNA-A1 abolished NTG-induced hyperalgesia in both pain models; NTG alone or associated to formalin injection induced an increased mRNA expression of CGRP, nNOS and cytokines in the trigeminal ganglia and central areas, which was reduced by KYNA-A1."1.46Effects of kynurenic acid analogue 1 (KYNA-A1) in nitroglycerin-induced hyperalgesia: Targets and anti-migraine mechanisms. ( Blandini, F; Demartini, C; Fülöp, F; Greco, R; Nappi, G; Pampalone, S; Redavide, E; Sandrini, G; Tassorelli, C; Toldi, J; Vécsei, L; Zanaboni, AM, 2017)
"The complex pathophysiology of migraine is not yet clearly understood; therefore, experimental models are essential for the investigation of the processes related to migraine headache, which include cortical spreading depression (CSD) and NO donor-induced neurovascular changes."1.46Nitroglycerin enhances the propagation of cortical spreading depression: comparative studies with sumatriptan and novel kynurenic acid analogues. ( Knapp, L; Kocsis, K; Szita, B; Toldi, J; Vécsei, L, 2017)
"These findings suggest that in migraine KYN is unidirectionally metabolized into ANA at expenses of KYNA and 3-HK."1.42Altered kynurenine pathway metabolites in serum of chronic migraine patients. ( Capi, M; Curto, M; Fazio, F; Giamberardino, MA; Lionetto, L; Martelletti, P; Negro, A; Nicoletti, F; Simmaco, M, 2015)
