Administration Dosage Frequency Description References
Sprague-Dawley rats Acute necrotizing pancreatitis Intraperitoneal injection 300 mg/kg Single dose, lasted for 24 hours Evaluate the effects of KYNA and SZR-72 on the severity of acute pancreatitis, results showed 300 mg/kg dose significantly alleviated pancreatitis symptoms Front Immunol. 2021 Oct 21;12:702764.
C57BL/6J mice LPS-induced sepsis model Intraperitoneal injection 50 mg/kg Administered 24 hours and 2 hours before LPS injection KA significantly reduced serum IL-1β and IL-18 levels in wild-type mice but had no effect in Nlrp3?/? mice Front Immunol. 2022 Oct 13;13:1019365
Mice Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model Intraperitoneal injection 5 mg/kg Single dose 2 hours or 24 hours prior to ischemia KynA significantly reduced myocardial infarct size and protected cardiac function by activating GPR35 Science. 2022 Aug 5;377(6606):621-629.
Sprague-Dawley rats Heatstroke model Intravenous injection 30–100 mg/kg Single dose, 4 hours before heat exposure KYNA preconditioning significantly prolonged survival time in heatstroke rats, attenuated hypotension, hypothalamic neuronal degeneration and apoptosis, reduced apoptosis in spleen, kidney, liver, and lung, upregulated serum IL-10 levels, and downregulated TNF-α and ICAM-1 levels.

Polish Longwool sheep Sheep brain third ventricle cannulation model Intracerebroventricular infusion 20 µg; 100 µg 4 infusions, 30 min each, at 30 min intervals To investigate the effect of KYNA on BDNF and TrkB expression in specific brain regions of sheep. Results showed that KYNA significantly increased BDNF protein concentration and mRNA expression in the hippocampal CA3 field, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex, with effects varying by dose and brain region. Cells. 2024 Nov 21;13(23):1928
Sprague-Dawley rats Intraabdominal sepsis model Intraperitoneal injection 160 µM/kg Twice at 16h and 22h after induction To evaluate the protective effects of KYNA and its synthetic derivatives on sepsis-associated neutrophil activation and brain mitochondrial dysfunction. Results showed that KYNA and its derivatives significantly reduced sepsis-induced increases in BBB permeability and brain injury marker S100B levels, and improved brain mitochondrial function.
