MW: 220.22. 5-hydroxy-L-Tryptophan (5-HTP), also known as oxitriptan, is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin. It is used as a dietary supplement for use as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant, and sleep aid. It is also used as L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase substrate.
