dltryptophan

DL-Tryptophan ((±)-Tryptophan) containing dipeptides are interesting ingredients for functional foods as a natural prevention for hypertension with reduced side effects due to its selective inhibition of the C-domain. Low thalamic Tryptophan uptake appears to be a strong, independent predictor of long survival in patients with previous glioma treatment.

L-Tryptophan (Tryptophane), an essential amino acid, is necessary for normal growth in infants and for nitrogen balance in adults. It is a precursor of SEROTONIN (hence its use as an antidepressant and sleep aid) and of INDOLE ALKALOIDS in plants. It can be a precursor to NIACIN, although inefficiently in mammals.

H-D-Trp-OH (D-Tryptophan) is one of the 20 standard amino acids. The D-stereoisomer is occasionally found in naturally produced peptides (e.g. contryphan, the marine venom peptide).

DL-Tryptophan-d5 is a deuterated compound of DL-Tryptophan. DL-Tryptophan has a CAS number of 54-12-6. Tryptophan containing dipeptides are interesting ingredients for functional foods as a natural prevention for hypertension with reduced side effects due to its selective inhibition of the C-domain.
