Application
Ro 61-8048 has been used as a kynurenine3-monooxygenase (KMO) inhibitor to study its effects on nicotinamideadenine dinucleotide (NAD+) concentration in hepatocytes of mice.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ro 61-8048 is an inhibitor of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) that increases kynurenic acid levels and reduces extracellular glutamate in the brain.
Inhibition of kynurenine 3-hydroxylase by Ro 61-8048 reduces the episodes of dystonia and dyskinesias induced by decreased levels of kynurenic acid.
