Enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways of kynurenines' dimerization: the molecular factors for oxidative stress development.

Kynurenines, the products of tryptophan oxidative degradation, are involved in multiple neuropathologies, such as Huntington's chorea, Parkinson's disease, senile dementia, etc. The major cause for hydroxykynurenines's neurotoxicity is the oxidative stress induced by the reactive oxyg...
