Description

4-Chloro-L-tryptophan is an indole alkaloid that belongs to the group of 2-d nmr. It has a chiral carbon atom and two enantiomers, D and L. 4-Chloro-L-tryptophan is used in the synthesis of serotonin in the brain. Synthesis of serotonin involves a two-step process: first, L-tyrosine is converted to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid by an aminotransferase enzyme (e.g., phenylalanine aminotransferase), then 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid is converted to 4-chloro-L-tryptophan by a decarboxylase enzyme (e.g., pyridoxal phosphate). The biosynthesis of serotonin also requires an intermediate molecule called indole pyruvic acid.
