The kynurenine pathway is a metabolic pathway leading to the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Metabolites involved in the kynurenine pathway include tryptophan, kynurenine, kynurenic acid, xanthurenic acid, quinolinic acid, and 3-hydroxykynurenine. The kynurenine pathway is responsible for total catabolization of tryptophan about 95%. Disruption in the pathway is associated with certain genetic and psychiatric disorders.
