Abstract

Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Radim Kučera, Ph.D. Candidate: Tomáš Jan Title of Thesis: Optimization of derivatization reaction conditions for GC-MS analysis of selected compounds Quinolinic acid is an endogenous molecule, downstream product of the kynurenine pathway, through which the amino acid L-tryptophane is metabolised. Quinolinic acid acts as an agonist at the NMDA receptor. Overactivity of this receptor leads to the cell death of neurons. Current research shows the connection between a high level of quinolinic acid and a higher risk of neurodegenerative diseases development and behavioural disorders. The level can ...
