Quinolinate (pyridine-2,3-dicarbolic acid, Quin) is a neurotoxic tryptophan metabolite produced mainly by immune-activated macrophages. It is implicated in the pathogenesis of several brain disorders including HIV-associated dementia. Previous evidence suggests that Quin may exert its neurotoxic effects not only as an agonist on the NMDA subtype of glutamate receptor, but also by a receptor-independent mechanism. In this study we address ability of ferrous quinolinate chelates to generate reactive ox n species.
