Homoquinolinic acid（Cat No.:I007341）is a chemical compound structurally related to quinolinic acid, which is a metabolite of tryptophan. It has been studied for its potential neuroactive properties, as it can interact with glutamate receptors in the brain. Homoquinolinic acid may exert excitotoxic effects by increasing the activity of NMDA receptors, leading to neuronal damage. Due to its involvement in glutamatergic signaling, it has been investigated in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. Research is ongoing to understand its role in brain function, its contribution to disease pathophysiology, and its potential as a therapeutic target.
