Use of GSK180GSK180 is a selective, competitive, and potent inhibitor of kynurenine-3-monooxygenase (KMO), a key enzyme of tryptophan metabolism (IC50, ~6 nM), but shows negligible activity against other enzymes on the tryptophan pathway. GSK180 rapidly changes levels of kynurenine pathway metabolites, and acts as a useful tool to probe the therapeutic potential of KMO inhibition[1]. |

IC50: ~6 nM (KMO)[1] |
In Vitro | GSK180 inhibits endogenous KMO activity in primary human hepatocytes (IC50=2.6 µM). GSK180 inhibits rat KMO slightly less potently than the human enzyme (IC50=7 µM)[1]. |
In Vivo | GSK180 is proper for i.v. administration[1]. |
