| Description | 5-Hydroxytryptophan (NSC-92523) is a metabolite of tryptophan and a direct precursor of serotonin. It is a substrate of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase and can be used to induce depression models. |
| In vitro | 5-Hydroxytryptophan exhibits toxicity in mice with an LD50 of 1800 mg/kg. In rats, it demonstrates effects at a dosage of 300 mg/kg when administered intragastrically (i.g.). |
| In vivo | 5-Hydroxytryptophan is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of serotonin from the essential amino acid L-tryptophan, which can easily cross the blood-brain barrier and effectively increase the synthesis of serotonin within the central nervous system. It has been shown to improve conditions such as depression, chronic headaches, and insomnia. |
