• Sinónimos: DL-2-Amino-3-(5-methoxyindolyl)propionic acid
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: 5-Methoxy-DL-tryptophan is a molecule that has been shown to inhibit the formation of osteoclasts by binding to tryptophan. This molecule has also been used in magnetic resonance spectroscopy and fluorescence experiments to study the binding of 5-methoxy-DL-tryptophan with various other molecules. It is an inhibitor of tryptophan decarboxylase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan into serotonin, which can be used as a neurotransmitter. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to decreased serotonin levels and reduced production of inflammatory cytokines. This molecule has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the enzymatic reaction between proline and oxaloacetate, leading to the production of alpha ketoglutarate. This molecule has also been shown to have a binding affinity with lung fibroblasts in vitro and inhibits their growth, suggesting that it may be useful for treating lung
