Description

5-Benzyloxy-DL-tryptophan is a tryptophan metabolite that has been shown to have physiological effects. It is formed by the hydrolysis of l-tryptophan by hydrochloric acid, which leads to an increase in extracellular Ca2+ and the production of reaction products. 5-Benzyloxy-DL-tryptophan is also involved in the biosynthesis of serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that affects mood and appetite. Clinical oncology studies have shown that 5-benzyloxy-DL-tryptophan can be used as adjuvant therapy to attenuate tumor growth and metastasis. 5-Benzyloxy-DL-tryptophan has been found to bind to the serotonin receptor cells in the intestine, leading to an increase in Ca2+, which promotes intestinal motility. 5BTT also acts as a precursor for serotonin synthesis when combined with amino acids such as L -
