COX-2 inhibitors down-regulate indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase, leading to a reduction in kynurenine levels as well as reducing proinflammatory cytokine activity.

Recent findings support the hypothesis that schizophrenia is associated with alterations of the tryptophane-kynurenine metabolic pathway due to activation of specific sections of the immune system.

Studies have shown the beneficial effects of enzyme inhibition in these eukaryotic kynurenine 3-monooxygenase active sites, thus making this enzyme an attractive target for human drug design.
34.
The color change from white to yellow takes between 10 and 25 days, the reverse about six days . The yellow pigments have been identified as kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine
35.
Evidence suggests that increased kynurenine production may precipitate depressive symptoms associated with interferon treatment for hepatitis C . Cognitive deficits in schizophrenia are associated with imbalances in the enzymes that break down kynurenine.

Norharmane, via inhibition of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase exerts neuroprotective properties by suppressing kynurenine neurotoxic metabolites such as quinolinic acid, 3-hydroxy-kynurenine and nitric oxide synthase.

This mechanism involves the kynurenine pathway and the permeability transition pore; as such, targeting molecules in this pathway could prevent EndoG-mediated cell death and effectively help treat PD in patients.

Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase regulates the downstream production of quinolinic acid, which can generate reactive free radicals and activates the NMDA subtype of glutamate receptors, producing excitotoxic lesions in the central nervous system of mammals.
