(±)-5-Hydroxytryptophan

Description:

(±)-5-Hydroxytryptophan, commonly referred to as 5-HTP, is an amino acid and a naturally occurring compound that serves as a precursor to serotonin, a key neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly acidic pH. The substance is often derived from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant and is used as a dietary supplement for its potential benefits in improving mood, reducing anxiety, and aiding sleep. In terms of its chemical structure, 5-HTP contains an indole ring, characteristic of tryptophan derivatives, and features a hydroxyl group at the 5-position, which distinguishes it from its parent amino acid. The compound is typically administered in its racemic form, which contains both the D- and L-enantiomers, although the L-enantiomer is primarily responsible for its biological activity. As with any supplement, it is important to consider potential side effects and interactions with other medications.

DL-5-Hydroxytryptophan

CAS: 56-69-9

DL-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid that is converted to serotonin in the brain. It is used to treat depression and anxiety, as well as other psychological disorders. 5-HTP has been shown to stimulate the production of serotonin, which may be due to its ability to activate 5-HT2 receptors. 5-HTP has also been shown to increase the activity of various enzymes, such as esterase and aminopeptidase, in human serum. 5-HTP has been shown to have no effects on carcinoid syndrome or 5-ht concentrations in blood plasma. However, it does have biochemical properties that are different from those of other amino acids and can be used as a fluorescent probe for biological research.
