2-(3-Indolylmethyl)-L-tryptophan（Cat No.:M100037） is a derivative of the essential amino acid tryptophan, featuring a modification with an indolylmethyl group at the second position of the tryptophan structure. This compound integrates the basic indole nucleus of tryptophan with an additional indole moiety, which can potentially enhance its interaction with biological systems, particularly in the brain. Such structural modifications often aim to improve pharmacological activity, including neurological effects, by influencing serotonin pathways. This molecule is of interest in biochemical research for its potential to act as a precursor in synthesizing novel biochemical compounds or as a probe in enzymatic studies.
