N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptophan is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan, characterized by the presence of an acetyl group at the nitrogen atom and a methoxy group at the 5-position of the indole ring. This compound is known for its potential biological activities, including roles in neurotransmission and modulation of mood. It exhibits properties typical of tryptophan derivatives, such as being a precursor to serotonin, a key neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, sleep, and appetite. The methoxy group may influence its solubility and bioavailability, potentially enhancing its pharmacological effects. N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptophan is of interest in research for its possible applications in neuropharmacology and as a dietary supplement. Its molecular structure contributes to its stability and reactivity, making it a subject of study in various biochemical pathways. As with many tryptophan derivatives, it may also exhibit antioxidant properties, contributing to its potential health benefits.

N-ACETYL-5-METHOXY-L-TRYPTOPHAN

n-acetyl-5-Methoxy-l-tryptophan

N-Acetyl-5-methoxy-L-tryptophan is a synthetic amino acid that has been used as an immunogen in the production of antibodies specific to melatonin. It is chemically similar to L-tryptophan, but with the acetyl group on the 5th carbon atom instead of the 6th. N-Acetyl-5-methoxy-L-tryptophan is not found in mammalian cells and is only detectable in human serum, urine samples, and rat plasma. The affinity of this compound for human serum proteins can be used as a measure of its purity. This product has been analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and found to be free from contaminants such as solvents.
