1.14.13.9 | diagnostics |
the upregulation of KMO currently serves as an independent prognostic biomarker to identify certain liver malignancies, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC patients who express increased KMO activity are known to have unfavorable clinical outcomes compared to those who do not. The upregulation of KMO also plays a critical role in triple-negative breast cancer progression and metastasis. The pharmacological inhibition of KMO with GSK180 granted therapeutic protection in acute pancreatitis rodent models preventing multiple organ failures |

1.14.13.9 | drug development |
enzyme KMO is an important drug target due to its role in regulating the levels of bioactive substances with contrasting effects. For treatment of central nervous related diseases, it is required that enzyme inhibitors should be both blood brain barrier permeable and should not cause hydrogen peroxide as a harmful side product.

1.14.13.9 | drug development |
KMO has been identified as a therapeutic target for limiting neuronal damage from ischemia and specific diseases. The inhibition of KMO in vivo has synergistic neuroprotective effects that include elevation of the concentration of kynurenate, that both slows glutamate release and antagonizes NMDA receptors, reducing aberrant excitation. Inhibition of KMO also has the added benefit of halting the accumulation of specific neurotoxic and/or apoptotic metabolites, such as 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine and quinolinic acid |

1.14.13.9 | medicine |
importance of KMO as a drug target in neurological disease, benefits of brain permeable inhibitors in modulating kynurenine pathway metabolites in the central nervous system teeating brain neurological diseases. KMO inhibitors with brain permeability would be predicted to be more efficacious for treating neurodegenerative diseases than peripheral treatment, as inhibition of KMO in the CNS leads to increased neuroprotective KYNA levels as well as decreased levels of neurotoxic metabolites |
