Tryptophan - PubChem

Tryptophan - Compound Summary (CID 6305) Also known as: L-tryptophan, Tryptophane, (S)-Tryptophan, L-Tryptophane, trofan, tryptacin, Ardeytropin, Indole-3-alanine, Pacitron Molecular Formula: C₁₁H₁₂N₂O₂ Molecular Weight: 204.22518 InChIKey: QIVBCDIJIAJPQS-VIFPVBQESA-N An essential amino acid that is necessary for normal growth in infants and for NITROGEN balance in adults. It is a precursor of INDOLE ALKALOIDS in plants. It is a precursor of SEROTONIN (hence its use as an antidepressant and sleep aid). It can be a precursor to NIACIN, albeit inefficiently, in mammals.
