CAS 4299-70-1: L-Tryptophan methyl ester

Description: L-Tryptophan methyl ester is a derivative of the essential amino acid L-Tryptophan, characterized by the presence of a methyl ester functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in polar solvents such as methanol and ethanol, but less soluble in non-polar solvents. It has a molecular formula that reflects the addition of a methyl group to the carboxylic acid of L-Tryptophan, which alters its properties and reactivity. L-Tryptophan methyl ester is often used in biochemical research and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in studies related to neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism, as it can serve as a precursor for serotonin. Additionally, it may exhibit different biological activities compared to its parent amino acid, making it of interest in various fields, including nutrition and pharmacology. As with many chemical substances, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any potential risks associated with its use.
