Beschreibung

5-Bromo-L-tryptophan is a chemical compound that is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of serotonin and melatonin. This molecule is a member of the class of compounds called indole alkaloids. 5-Bromo-L-tryptophan has been shown to be synthesized from tryptamine and secologanin by Aureol, a wild type strain of bacteria. The biosynthesis starts with the addition of two bromine atoms at the C5 position, which are then removed as volatile bromide ions. X-ray crystallography data have shown that this reaction proceeds via an asymmetric syn addition, with a reaction time on the order of milliseconds. 5-Bromo-L-tryptophan can be obtained from marine sponges such as Semenospongia sp., using x-ray data to determine its molecular structure.
