kynurenic acid and Nerve Degeneration

kynurenic acid has been researched along with Nerve Degeneration in 24 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.

Nerve Degeneration: Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The neuroprotective potential of an antagonist (7-chlorokynurenic acid (7-CIKYNA)) and a low efficacy partial agonist (HA-966) for the glycine modulatory site on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex has been examined using a neuronal cell culture/hypoxia model of neurodegeneration."7.68The effect of NMDA receptor glycine site antagonists on hypoxia-induced neurodegeneration of rat cortical cell cultures. ( Horne, AL; Kemp, JA; McKernan, RM; Priestley, T, 1990)
"Kynurenic acid (KYNA) was tested as an antagonist of the neurotoxic and epileptogenic effects of the metabolically related brain constituent quinolinic acid (QUIN)."5.27Kynurenic acid blocks neurotoxicity and seizures induced in rats by the related brain metabolite quinolinic acid. ( Foster, AC; French, ED; Schwarcz, R; Vezzani, A, 1984)
"Memantine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, reduces the clinical deterioration in moderate-to-severe Alzheimer disease (AD) for which other treatments are not available."3.72Memantine inhibits and reverses the Alzheimer type abnormal hyperphosphorylation of tau and associated neurodegeneration.

( Horne, AL; Kemp, JA; McKernan, RM; Priestley, T, 1990)
" As it did not induce any appreciable side-effect at the protective dose applied in a chronic dosing regime in this mouse model, it appears worthy of further thorough investigations with a view to eventual clinical trials."1.37Neuroprotective effects of a novel kynurenic acid analogue in a transgenic mouse model of Huntington's disease.

" Agonists of the glycine recognition site of NMDA receptors (D-serine and D-alanine) did not have any toxic effect in hippocampal cultures, whereas competitive blockade of the glycine site by 7-chlorokynurenic acid was neuroprotective."1.33Glycine-induced neurotoxicity in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures. ( Barth, A; Barth, L; Newell, DW; Nguyen, LB, 2005)
"Kynurenic acid (KYNA) was tested as an antagonist of the neurotoxic and epileptogenic effects of the metabolically related brain constituent quinolinic acid (QUIN)."1.27Kynurenic acid blocks neurotoxicity and seizures induced in rats by the related brain metabolite quinolinic acid.
