unusual facts about 5-hydroxy-tryptophan



4-Hydroxy-5-methoxydimethyltryptamine

The only report of it in the chemical literature was a paper published by Marc Julia's group at the Pasteur Institute in 1965.

7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one

It is metabolized by the enzyme 7α-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one 12α-hydroxylase to 7α,12α-dihydroxycholest-4-en-3-one and then to cholic acid, the major primary bile acid in humans.

Aurantinidin

It is a member of the class of compounds known as anthocyanidins and is a hydroxy derivative of pelargonidin.

Broad-Spectrum Chemokine Inhibitor

The key amino acids of the BSCI peptides required for activity have been identified, and the tripeptide AcNH-Trp-Val-Gln-OH was shown to itself be a BSCI in the low micromolar range.

C10H7NO3

Kynurenic acid, a product of the normal metabolism of amino acid L-tryptophan

Calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate

The latter is a leucine metabolite produced in the body through oxidation of the ketoacid of leucine (ketoisocaproate, KIC).

Desmanthus illinoensis

Root bark of D. illinoensis has been found to contain N,N-DMT, NMT, N-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine, 2-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine, and gramine (toxic).

Dihydrochalcone

Dihydrochalcones (3′,5′-dihydroxy-2′,4′,6′-trimethoxydihydrochalcone, methyl linderone, 5-hydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone (alnetin) and 2′-hydroxy-3′,4′,5′,6′-tetramethoxydihydrochalcone (dihydrokanakugiol) can be found in twigs of Lindera lucida.

Fries rearrangement

The Fries rearrangement, named for the German chemist Karl Theophil Fries, is a rearrangement reaction of a phenyl ester to a hydroxy aryl ketone by catalysis of Lewis acids.

Gmelina arborea

Lignans, such as 6“ - bromo - isoarboreol, 4-hydroxysesamin, 4,8-dihydroxysesamin, 1,4-dihydroxysesamin (gummadiol), 2-piperonyl-3-hydroxymethyl-4-(α-hydroxy-3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl)-4-hydroxytetrahydrofuran and the 4-O-glucoside of 4-epigummadiol, can be isolated from the heartwood of Gmelina arborea.

Hydroxyquinol

Hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase is an enzyme that uses hydroxyquinol and O2 to produce 3-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconate.

McCombie

Barton–McCombie deoxygenation, organic reaction replacing a hydroxy group with hydrogen to give an alkyl group

Novus International

Early 1950s – Monsanto begins metabolism studies and the development of methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA feed supplement) production begins at Monsanto's Everett, Massachusetts location.

Rega Institute for Medical Research

The Nucleoside analogs, d4T, 3'-fluoro-3'-deoxythymidine (FLT) and 3'-fluorodideoxyguanosine (FLG), and the NNRTI's 1-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy) methyl-6-phenylthiothymine (HEPT), tetrahydro-imidazo4,5,1-jk1,4-benzodiazepine-2(1H)-one and -thione (TIBO) and alpha-anilinophenylacetamide (alpha-APA) were first described at the Rega Institute.

Smart shop

Tryptophan and 5-hydroxy-tryptophan, for instance, can be used to help the body replenish serotonin levels in the brain after the use of MDMA, and vitamin supplements are appropriate for users of stimulants such as amphetamine.

Tryptophol

An efficient conversion of tryptophan to indole-3-acetic acid and/or tryptophol can be achieved by some species of fungi in the genus Rhizoctonia.
