摘要:
Provided herein are methods of decreasing a level of kynurenic acid in a cell and of treating a pathophysiological condition in a subject associated with an increase in kynurenic acid in a subject. In these methods the inhibitory action of dicarboxylic acids or derivatives or analogs thereof are effective to inhibit activity of kynurenine aminotransferase II. Also provided is a method of screening for potential inhibitory compounds for kynurenine aminotransferase II. The dicarboxylic acids or derivatives or analogs thereof may have the structural formula, where R1 is H, NH2 or NHCH3, R2 is H or CH3, n is 0 to 14, and X is —COOH, CH2OH, —PO3H2, —SO3H, or —SO3H; or a pharmacologically acceptable salt.
