Quinolinic acid (Cat No.: M197907) is a pyridine dicarboxylic acid, specifically 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, and is a metabolite in the tryptophan–kynurenine pathway. It is an important intermediate in NAD⁺ biosynthesis in mammals but is also known for its neurotoxic effects at elevated levels. Quinolinic acid acts as an NMDA receptor agonist, contributing to excitotoxicity in neurodegenerative diseases. It is widely studied in the context of neurology, immunology, and biomarker research for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
