The kynurenine 3-hydroxylase inhibitor Ro 61-8048 improves dystonia in a genetic model of paroxysmal dyskinesia.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 478(1) , 47-52, (2003)

The effects of the novel kynurenine 3-hydroxylase inhibitor 3,4-dimethoxy-N-[4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]benzenesulfonamide (Ro 61-8048) on severity of dystonia were examined in dt(sz) mutant hamsters, an animal model of paroxysmal dystonia, in which stress...

Effects of the kynurenine 3-hydroxylase inhibitor Ro 61-8048 after intrastriatal injections on the severity of dystonia in the dt sz mutant.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 586(1-3) , 156-9, (2008)

Striatal dysfunctions seem to play a key role in the pathophysiology of dystonia in the dt(sz) mutant hamster, a model of paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia, in which stress precipitates dystonic episodes. Previous examinations have shown changes in kynure...

The antioxidant role of xanthurenic acid in the Aedes aegypti midgut during digestion of a blood meal.

PLoS ONE 7(6) , e38349, (2012)

In the midgut of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, a vector of dengue and yellow fever, an intense release of heme and iron takes place during the digestion of a blood meal. Here, we demonstrated via chromatography, light absorption and mass spectrometry that xanth...

Kynurenine pathway inhibition reduces central nervous system inflammation in a model of human African trypanosomiasis.

Brain 132 , 1259-67, (2009)

Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is caused by the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense or Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, and is a major cause of systemic and neurological disability throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Following ear...
