Biological Activity for Ro 61-8048

Ro 61-8048 is a potent and competitive kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (kynurenine 3-hydroxylase; KMO) inhibitor (K_i = 4.8 nM, IC₅₀ = 37 nM). Increases kynurenic acid levels to concentrations that antagonize the glycine site of NMDA receptors. Brain penetrant and exhibits antidystonic, anticonvulsant and neuroprotective activities. Ro 61-8048 decreases nicotine self-administration in vivo. Ro 61-8048 prevents post-operative brain edema and consequent neuronal apoptosis in a rat model of surgically induced brain injury.
