:D-Tryptophan, 5-fluoro-
Description:
D-Tryptophan, 5-fluoro- is a fluorinated derivative of the amino acid tryptophan, characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom at the 5-position of the indole ring. This modification can influence its biochemical properties and interactions. The compound is typically classified as an amino acid and is involved in various biological processes, including protein synthesis and neurotransmitter production. Its structure includes an indole side chain, which is essential for its role in biological systems. The introduction of the fluorine atom may enhance its stability and alter its reactivity compared to non-fluorinated tryptophan. D-Tryptophan, 5-fluoro- may also be of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of drugs targeting serotonin pathways or in studies related to metabolic processes. As with many fluorinated compounds, it may exhibit unique pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, making it a subject of interest in medicinal chemistry. However, specific applications and effects would depend on ongoing research and studies.

5-Fluoro-D-Tryptophan
CAS:<p>5-Fluoro-D-Tryptophan is a fluorescent substrate for the enzyme indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) that is used in assays to determine the activity of this enzyme. IDO is an enzyme that is found in animals and catalyzes the first step in tryptophan metabolism by converting it to 5-fluoro-kynurenine. The amount of fluorescence generated can be detected with a fluorescence detector. 5-Fluoro-D-Tryptophan has been shown to have higher levels of uptake by tumor tissue than by normal tissue, which may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis and cell division.</p>Formula:C11H11FN2O2Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White/Off-White SolidMolecular weight:222.22 g/mol
