DescriptionN'-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. N'-Formylkynurenine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). N'-Formylkynurenine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Within yeast, n'-formylkynurenine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, n'-formylkynurenine can be converted into formic acid and L-kynurenine through its interaction with the enzyme kynurenine formamidase. In addition, n'-formylkynurenine can be biosynthesized from L-tryptophan through its interaction with the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. In yeast, n'-formylkynurenine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the nad metabolism pathway.
