Description of 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine

3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine is a potential endogenous neurotoxin which significantly inhibited CD4+ T-cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 value of approximately 70μM. 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine is a metabolic intermediate of the kynurenine pathway, the major metabolic pathway of tryptophan (Trp). Increased levels of 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine have been described in several neurodegenerative disorders[1][2].

In vitro, human colon cancer HCT116 cells treated with 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine (0.008-2mM) for 6-48h disrupted TCA cycle metabolism, depleted glutathione levels and reduced cell viability in a dose-dependent manner[3]. Neuronally derived hybrid cell line (N18-RE-105) was treated with increasing concentration of 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine for 24h. 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine was toxic to greater than 85% of cultured cells at concentrations in excess of 100μM. N18-RE-105 exposed to 500μM 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine for 2h did not induced significant cell lysis, yet marked cell death emerged 22h after harvest[4]. Human neurons and astrocytes treated with 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine (0.1–1000μM) for 24h significantly increased intracellular NAD+ levels at a low concentration of 100nM but substantially decreased NAD+ levels at higher concentrations. Treatment with 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine increased extracellular LDH activity at concentrations above 100nM in both cell types[5].

In vivo, kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) is a pivotal enzyme in the kynurenine pathway (KP) and normally oxidizes kynurenine (KYN) to 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine in the presence of reduced NADPH and molecular oxygen. Endotoxic shock was induced in KMO-/- C57BL/6N mice with 15mg/kg LPS. KMO-/- mice given 10mg/kg 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine i.p. every 12h after LPS survived significantly longer than PBS-treated KMO-/- mice by inhibiting inflammation via halving serum IL-6 and blocking ATF4 nuclear translocation[6]. Intrastriatal injection of 1μl of 3-hydroxy-DL-Kynurenine (50nmol) dissolved in DMSO into Wistar rats brain induced lesion at the injected area characterized by a dose-dependent, well-defined cavity surrounded by necrosis and reactive gliosis[7].
