Applications

Tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitor

 

Functions

A potent and selective inhibitor of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) Ki=42 nM).  Displays no activity against indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, MAO-A and B and does not effect serotonin uptake. Elevates CSF tryptophan by up to 260% and CSF serotonin by 170% of basal.  TDO inhibition by 680C91 in glioma cells blocked the release of kynurenine, an endogenous tumor promoting AHR ligand.

 

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 20 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 10 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20° for up to 3 months.
