Metabolite Identification
Common NameQuinaldic acid
DescriptionQuinaldic acid, also known as quinaldate, 2-carboxyquinoline, or quinoline-2-carboxylic acid, 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. The quinoline ring system is a double-ring structure composed of a benzene and a pyridine ring fused at two adjacent carbon atoms. Quinaldic acid is a quinoline having a carboxy group at the 2-position. It is a solid that is moderately soluble in water with a melting point of 156°C. Quinaldic acid is a metabolite of tryptophan degradation that is formed via the kynurenine pathway; it is formed through the dehydroxylation of the intermediate kynurenic acid (PMID: 13385219 ). It is excreted in urine, and its urine concentration is decreased in individuals suffering from chronic alcoholism (PMID: 25754126 ). Quinaldic acid has been shown to inhibit proinsulin synthesis in pancreatic islet cells (PMID: 373355 ). Quinaldic acid has been shown to have anti-proliferative or anti-tumour effects and has been found to alter the expression of the p53 tumour suppressor gene as well as the phosphorylation of the p53 protein in in vitro studies (PMID: 30780127 ).
