Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-Hydroxy-N-formylkynurenine
Description5-Hydroxy-N-formylkynurenine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. 5-Hydroxy-N-formylkynurenine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Within humans, 5-hydroxy-N-formylkynurenine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 5-hydroxy-N-formylkynurenine can be converted into 5-hydroxykynurenine and formic acid through its interaction with the enzyme kynurenine formamidase. In addition, 5-hydroxy-N-formylkynurenine can be biosynthesized from 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan through its interaction with the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1. In humans, 5-hydroxy-N-formylkynurenine is involved in tryptophan metabolism. A non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid that is 5-hydroxykynurenine bearing an N-formyl substituent.
