    Cinnabarinic acid

    ৳22,650.66 - ৳78,971.22

    Cinnabarinic acid is an endogenous kynurenine metabolite formed from oxidative dimerization of 3-​hydroxyanthranilic acid and transamination of 3-​hydroxykynurenine. Cinnabarinic acid activates glutamate receptors by interacting with residues of the glutamate binding pocket of mGlu4. Cinnabarinic acid induces apoptosis in T cells through generation of reactive oxygen species, the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase activation.

    Molecular Formula  C14H8N2O6
