DescriptionXanthurenic acid, also known as xanthurenate or 8-hydroxykynurenate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as quinoline carboxylic acids. These are quinolines in which the quinoline ring system is substituted by a carboxyl group at one or more positions. Xanthurenic acid is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Xanthurenic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, xanthurenic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway. Xanthurenic acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as hemodialysis, colorectal cancer, and eosinophilic esophagitis; xanthurenic acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder kynureninase deficiency.
