5-Methoxytryptophol

Description:

5-Methoxytryptophol is an indole derivative and a naturally occurring compound that belongs to the class of tryptophol compounds. It is characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 5-position of the indole ring, which is a bicyclic structure composed of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered nitrogen-containing pyrrole ring. This compound is known for its potential biological activities, including neuroactive properties, and has been studied for its role in various physiological processes. 5-Methoxytryptophol is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate stability under standard conditions. Its structure allows it to interact with various biological targets, making it of interest in pharmacological research. Additionally, it is often investigated in the context of its effects on mood and sleep, as it is related to the metabolism of serotonin. As with many chemical substances, safety and handling precautions should be observed when working with 5-Methoxytryptophol in laboratory settings.

5-Methoxytryptophol

CAS: 712-09-4

5-Methoxytryptophol is a metabolite of melatonin that has immunomodulatory effects. It is produced by the pineal gland, retina, and ovarian follicles. 5-Methoxytryptophol has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in human serum and to inhibit cyclase activity. It also has oxidative stress-reducing properties which may be due to its ability to scavenge free radicals. The high values of 5-methoxytryptophol in metabolic disorders such as fatty acidosis have been attributed to the presence of this metabolite in the liver and kidney.
