• Descripción: 5-Methoxy-L-tryptophan is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that acts by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. It has been shown to have a clinical relevance in the treatment of cancer and ischemia reperfusion injury. 5-Methoxy-L-tryptophan has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn disease. 5-Methoxy-L-tryptophan is a precursor for serotonin, which regulates many physiological functions including pain perception. Tryptophan has also been found to increase epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and repair mechanisms in fibroblasts. X-ray crystal structures have revealed that 5-methoxy tryptophan binds at the active site of xanthine oxidase, which is an enzyme involved in purine metabolism.
