ABSTRACT
Toxoplasma gondii (TG), a Protozoan parasite intracellular, which causes disorders that affects the brain and has been linked to the disease of schizophrenia. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii stimulates the degradation of tryptophan and is involved in producing neurodegenerative metabolites such as the kynurenic acid. The objective of the study is to determine, using the quantum semi-empirical method parametric (SE-PM3/1), which neurotransmitter has a higher affinity with the acid kynurenic, so understanding the neuronal oxidative effect. Hyperchem Professional software performed Molecular Modelling and analysis of the molecules of cGMP/AMPc and 9 of the major neurotransmitters.
