Chemical Properties
White powder;Light yellow powder
Uses
Inhibits glucose synthesis
Uses
An inhibitor of glucose synthesis.
Uses
A matabolite of tryptophan and a putative NMDA receptor agonist.
Hazard
A poison by skin contact. Moderately toxic by ingestion. A mild skin irritant.
Industrial uses
The use of quinolinic acid during flotation of hematite results in the adsorption of quinoline on hematite, allowing amine to selectively adsorb onto the hematite surface.
Biological Activity
Endogenous NMDA agonist and transmitter candidate. May distinguish between NMDA receptor subtypes.
Safety Profile
A poison by skin contact. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Experimental reproductive effects. A mdd skinn irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of NOx.
