CAS 52448-16-5: 4-Bromo-L-tryptophan

Description:4-Bromo-L-tryptophan is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a bromine atom at the fourth position of the indole ring of L-tryptophan. This compound is a halogenated analog of the essential amino acid tryptophan, which plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters such as serotonin. The introduction of the bromine atom can influence the compound's biochemical properties, potentially affecting its reactivity, solubility, and interaction with biological systems. 4-Bromo-L-tryptophan is often utilized in biochemical research to study protein structure and function, as well as in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. Its molecular structure includes a carboxylic acid group, an amino group, and the indole side chain, contributing to its classification as a polar, hydrophilic compound. Safety data indicates that, like many halogenated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
