No.: HY-W585843CAS No.: 132685-02-01,1′-Ethylidenebis[L-tryptophan] is an orally active amino acid analog. 1,1′-Ethylidenebis[L-tryptophan] promotes the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone in rat plasma, and transiently inhibits CRH mRNA in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus via glucocorticoid negative feedback. 1,1′-Ethylidenebis[L-tryptophan] induces multi-tissue inflammation and fibrosis in rodents and human cells, increases the number of degranulated mast cells, and activates the IL-5 pathway in lymphocytes. 1,1′-Ethylidenebis[L-tryptophan] is activated by tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase and replaces L-tryptophan during translation; it also interferes with tryptophan metabolism in mice via the kynurenine pathway and dynamically alters their plasma quinolinic acid levels. 1,1′-Ethylidenebis[L-tryptophan] can be used for studies on metabolism-related mechanisms.
