dl-tryptophan

DL-Tryptophan ((±)-Tryptophan) containing dipeptides are interesting ingredients for functional foods as a natural prevention for hypertension with reduced side effects due to its selective inhibition of the C-domain. Low thalamic Tryptophan uptake appears to be a strong, independent predictor of long survival in patients with previous glioma treatment.

5-Methoxy-DL-tryptophan is a molecule produced by endothelial cells to modulate inflammatory responses and protect against systemic inflammation.

N-Malonyl DL-tryptophan is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences and the catalog number is T125055.

Ac-DL-Trp-OH (N-Acetyl-DL-tryptophan) was study for its possible anti- inflammatory and antinociceptive activities from the extraction of a Turkish plant, Salsola grandis.

L-Tryptophan (Tryptophane), an essential amino acid, is necessary for normal growth in infants and for nitrogen balance in adults. It is a precursor of SEROTONIN (hence its use as an antidepressant and sleep aid) and of INDOLE ALKALOIDS in plants. It can be a precursor to NIACIN, although inefficiently in mammals.
