Descrição

6-Methyl-DL-tryptophan is a naturally occurring amino acid that is used as a precursor in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin. 6-Methyl-DL-tryptophan is synthesized from the amino acid L-tryptophan by the enzyme tryptophan synthase. It is also found in dietary sources such as nuts and seeds, but not in significant quantities. 6-Methyl-DL-tryptophan has been shown to inhibit cancer cells in vitro and has been shown to be effective against prostate cancer cells. The inhibition mechanism for this drug has not yet been elucidated, but it may be due to frameshifting and/or inhibition of protein synthesis.
