(±)-Tryptophan

Description:

(±)-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for several important biomolecules, including serotonin, melatonin, and niacin. It is classified as a non-polar, aromatic amino acid due to its indole side chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. Tryptophan is typically found in various dietary sources, including meat, dairy products, and certain plant-based foods. The substance exists as a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Its molecular formula is C11H12N2O2, and it has a molecular weight that reflects its complex structure. In biological systems, tryptophan is involved in various metabolic pathways and is known for its role in mood regulation and sleep patterns. Additionally, it can be utilized in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, making it significant in neurochemistry. Due to its essential nature, adequate intake of tryptophan is vital for maintaining overall health and well-being.

DL-Tryptophan

CAS: 54-12-6

DL-Tryptophan is an amino acid that is a precursor to serotonin, niacin and melatonin. It is a substrate for the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and has been shown to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α. DL-Tryptophan has been used in the treatment of depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, eating disorders, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. This amino acid has also been shown to increase muscle mass in rats by increasing protein synthesis. DL-Tryptophan can be found in crystalline cellulose or as a solution with pH 7.5 at room temperature. The optimum concentration for DL-tryptophan is 10mM with a reaction time of 3 hours at 37 degrees Celsius. The fluorescence detector is used to measure the amount of light emitted from the reaction solution when it is excited by 350 nm light.
