In gerbils and rats, Ro 61-8048 (30 mg/kg, p.o.) causes kynurenine 3-hydroxylase inhibition. [1] In models of focal or global brain ischemia, Ro 61-8048 (40 mg/kg, p.o.) reduce ischemic brain damage. [2] In a hamster model of paroxysmal dyskinesia, Ro 61-8048 (150 mg/kg i.p.) significantly reduces the severity of dystonia without leading to marked central side effects. [3] addition, prenatal inhibition of the kynurenine pathway by Ro 61-8048 leads to structural changes in the hippocampus of adult rat offspring. [4]
