Descrição

N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan is a neuroprotective agent that binds to the group p2 receptor for neurokinin-1 (NK-1) and inhibits the apoptosis pathway. It is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease. N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan has been shown to inhibit inflammatory lesions in rats with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal model of multiple sclerosis. This drug also interacts with toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which activates downstream signaling cascades involving NFκB, MAP kinase, and JAK/STAT pathways. The molecular docking analysis revealed that N-acetyl tryptophan binds to specific sites on TLR4 and prevents its activation by preventing binding of LPS.
