Description

6-Bromo-DL-tryptophan is an alkylating agent that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. 6-Bromo-DL-tryptophan is a natural product that is synthesized from L-tryptophan by the addition of bromine. The biosynthesis of 6-bromo-DL-tryptophan occurs through a two step process, which involves conversion of L-tryptophan to L-3,4,5,6 tetrahydroisoquinoline and then to 6-(2,4dinitrophenyl)-L-tryptophan. This synthetic pathway has been optimized for industrial production using chemical and biochemical methodologies.
