2-(3-INDOLYLMETHYL)-L-TRYPTOPHAN

Description:

2-(3-Indolylmethyl)-L-tryptophan, identified by the CAS number 149724-31-2, is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan, which is known for its role in protein synthesis and as a precursor to serotonin. This compound features an indole ring structure, which is characteristic of tryptophan, and is modified by the addition of a methylene bridge linking the indole moiety to the amino acid backbone. The presence of the indole group contributes to its potential biological activity, including interactions with neurotransmitter systems. The compound is likely to exhibit properties typical of amino acids, such as solubility in polar solvents and the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding. Its structural characteristics may also influence its pharmacological properties, making it of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to neurochemistry and metabolic pathways. As with many tryptophan derivatives, it may have implications in the study of mood regulation and other physiological processes.

2-(3-Indolylmethyl)-L-tryptophan is a drug that belongs to the class of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) solvents. It is used for the separation of proteins, peptides, amino acids, and other compounds from biological fluids. 2-(3-Indolylmethyl)-L-tryptophan has been shown to be useful in the identification of eosinophilic fasciitis and coeluting impurities in pharmaceutical products. In an outbreak of Scleroderma, 2-(3-indolylmethyl)-L-tryptophan was found to be a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography solvent that has been reported to cause pulmonary fibrosis. The use of this solvent is not recommended because it can lead to lung injury and death. 2-(3-Indolylmethyl)-L-tryptophan has
