In the present study, we examined whether increasing brain concentrations of kynurenic acid by loading with its precursor l-kynurenine, or blocking its excretion with probenecid, could exert neuroprotective effects. Neuroprotective effects were examined in a neonatal model of hypoxia\u2013ischemia, and following intrastriatal injection of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA). Seven-day-old rats underwent unilateral ligation of the carotid artery, followed by exposure to 8% oxygen for 1.5 h. l-kynurenine administered 1 h before the hypoxia\u2013ischemia showed a dose-dependent significant neuroprotective effect, with complete protection at a dose of 300 mg kg\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    . The induction of c-fos immunoreactivity in cerebral cortex was also blocked by this dose of l-kynurenine. Probenecid alone had moderate neuroprotective effects, while a combination of a low dose of probenecid with doses of 50\u2013200 mg kg\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    of l-kynurenine showed significant dose-dependent neuroprotection. Kynurenine dose-dependently protected against NMDA neurotoxicity in 7-day-old rats. Neurochemical analysis confirmed that l-kynurenine with or without probenecid markedly increased concentrations of kynurenic acid in cerebral cortex of 7-day-old rats. These results show for the first time that pharmacologic manipulation of endogenous concentrations of kynurenic acid can exert neuroprotective effects.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/jcbfm.1992.57","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,8]],"date-time":"2011-04-08T13:11:51Z","timestamp":1302268311000},"page":"400-407","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":112,"title":["Neuroprotective Effects of L-Kynurenine on Hypoxia\u2014Ischemia and NMDA Lesions in Neonatal Rats"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Kazuhiko","family":"Nozaki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
