摘要: Abstract Serial ion-exchange and high-performance liquid chromatography separations were employed for the tissue extraction purification of kynurenic acid (KYNA). Subsequently, compound isolated from postmortem human brain was unequivocally identified as KYNA by nuclear magnetic resonance mass spectrometric analyses. Regional distribution analyses revealed highest concentration (1.58±0.43pmol/mg tissue) in caudate nucleus with lower levels thalamus, globus pallidus, hippocampus, parietal cortex frontal cortex. Of structures examined, lowest (0.14±0.02pmol/mg found cerebellum.
