Neuroimmune-triggered neuroinflammation is an important factor for various neurological disorders, and targeting the kynurenine pathway and inhibiting indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO-1) may be a viable approach to treat conditions like depression and dementia.
Neuroimmune-triggered neuroinflammation of the central nervous system is emerging as an important aetiopathogenic factor for multiple neurological disorders, including depression, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and others. Tryptophan metabolism via the kynurenic pathway, which is initiated by the indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO-1) enzyme, is a key regulator of the neuroimmune system and its associated neuroinflammatory effects. As discussed in this review, targeting the production of immunopathic and potentially neurotoxic kynurenine metabolites by inhibitory downregulation of IDO-1 may prove a viable target against inflammation-induced neurological conditions, particularly depression and dementia.
