Description

L-Tryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride is an allylation product of L-tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin. It is used in the synthesis of benzodiazepine receptor ligands and has serotonergic activity. L-Tryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride can be synthesized from L-tryptophan by amination reaction with methylamine and formaldehyde in the presence of a base. This chemical compound was also shown to have antitumour activity against MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cell proliferation.
