Description

N-Acetyl-D-tryptophan is a form of tryptophan that has been shown to have neuroprotective effects. It binds to the neurokinin 1 receptor, inhibiting the release of neurotoxic substances and preventing neuronal cell death. N-Acetyl-D-tryptophan is also able to inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species, which are responsible for cellular damage. N-Acetyl-D-tryptophan has been shown to have neuroprotective effects in bacterial strain, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding constants, reaction solution, inhibitor binding, mitochondrial cytochrome c amide and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease urine samples.
