| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Cinnabarinic acid is a phenoxazinone produced by the oxidative dimerization of 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA) as part of the metabolism of tryptophan in the kynurenic pathway. It acts as a partial receptor agonist of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGlu4), effective at 100 μM, with no activity at other mGlu receptor subtypes. 3-HAA does not affect mGlu receptors, including mGlu4. Cinnabarinic acid induces apoptosis of T cells at 300-500 μM, a potency some ten times that of 3-HAA. | [Chemical Properties]

ChEBI: Cinnavalininate is a phenoxazine. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Cinnabarinic acid is a kynurenine pathway metabolite of tryptophan, produced by the oxidation of 3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid. Cinnabarinic acid leads to loss of mitochondrial respiration and apoptosis, and has also been shown to be an mGlu4R-specific agonist. | [storage]
