Xanthurenic acid is formed upon tryptophan degradation by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. It has been shown to be an endogenous Group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR2 and mGluR3) agonist and is implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.{31730,31731} Xanthurenic acid has also been identified as an inducer of gametogenesis of P. falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria, and thus, is a target for the development of new methods to interrupt the transmission of malaria.{6156}
