5-methoxy Tryptophol (5-MTOH) is a natural indole that is produced by the pineal gland.1,2 It is a product of melatonin metabolism that may be biologically active.3,4 The levels of 5-MTOH in plasma vary in a diurnal pattern in rodents and humans.5,6 | [Uses]
5-Methoxytryptophol is a compound known to play a significant role in bone metabolism. 5-Methoxytryptophol can inhibit osteoclastogenesis and promote osteoblast differentiation. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 5-Methoxytryptophol is a member of indoles. | [Synthesis]
General procedure for the synthesis of 5-methoxychromanol from 2,3-dihydrofuran and 4-methoxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride:
1. dissolve 4-methoxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride (1.214 g, 6.95 mmol) in a mixture of 10 mL of 0.72 M H2SO4 and 10 mL of DMA and heat to 55°C.
2. 2,3-dihydrofuran (0.525 mL, 6.95 mmol) was added slowly over 2 minutes.
3. the reaction mixture was stirred at 55 °C for 2 h and subsequently cooled to room temperature.
4. The reaction mixture was extracted with isopropyl acetate (2 x 25 mL).
5. The organic layers were combined and washed sequentially with H2O (3 x 20 mL) and saturated NaCl solution (1 x 20 mL).
6. The organic layer was dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated.
7. The crude product was purified by fast chromatography (eluent: 50:50 ethyl acetate/hexane) to afford 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indole (5-methoxytryptophan) (11) as an orange-red oil. | [IC 50]
