Description

L-Tryptophanol is a natural enantiopure amino acid that is found in the seeds of many plants. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of viruses, including HIV and influenza A virus. L-Tryptophanol inhibits viral replication by interfering with the function of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme involved in viral DNA synthesis. L-Tryptophanol also has antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). This drug has been shown to be effective for treating autoimmune diseases such as endometriosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. L-Tryptophanol has potent antitumor activity against cancer cells and may be used to treat cancers such as breast cancer. In addition, it appears that L-tryptophanol may have a beneficial effect on both cognitive function and mood disorders due to its ability to act as a
