Tryptophan, 5-hydroxy-, ethyl ester, monohydrochloride

Description:
5-Hydroxytryptophan ethyl ester monohydrochloride, with the CAS number 103404-89-3, is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. This compound is characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 5-position of the indole ring, which enhances its solubility and bioavailability compared to its parent compound. As an ethyl ester, it features an ethyl group attached to the carboxylic acid moiety, which can influence its pharmacokinetic properties. The monohydrochloride form indicates that the compound is a hydrochloride salt, which typically improves stability and solubility in aqueous solutions. 5-Hydroxytryptophan is known for its role as a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, and is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications in mood disorders and sleep regulation. The compound is generally considered to have low toxicity, but its effects can vary based on dosage and individual response. As with any biochemical substance, proper handling and adherence to safety protocols are essential in research and therapeutic contexts.
