Molecular Weight: 204.23
L-TryptophanL-Tryptophan or (S)-2-Amino-3-(3-indolyl)propionic acid or L-α-Amino-3-indolepropionic acid is an amino acid, a protein building block. People use L-tryptophan for severe PMS symptoms and for quitting smoking. It is also used for athletic performance, depression, insomnia, and many other conditions.
Tryptophan USP Grade Specifications:
C11H12N2O2 204.23
l-Tryptophan CAS 73-22-3
UNII: 8DUH1N11BXDEFINITION
Tryptophan contains NLT 98.5% and NMT 101.5% of C11H12N2O2, asl-tryptophan, calculated on the dried basis.IDENTIFICATION
Infrared AbsorptionASSAY
Procedure:
Sample solution: Place 200 mg of Tryptophan in a 125-mL flask. Dissolve in a mixture of 3 mL of formic acid and 50 mL of glacial acetic acid.
Analysis: Titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid, determining the endpoint potentiometrically. Perform a blank determination and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 20.42 mg of C11H12N2O2.
Acceptance criteria: 98.5%–101.5% on the dried basis.IMPURITIES
Residue on Ignition: NMT 0.1%
Chloride and Sulfate, Chloride: A 0.73-g portion shows no more chloride than corresponds to 0.50 mL of 0.020 N hydrochloric acid (0.05%). [Note— Gently heat the sample preparation to dissolve, if necessary.]
Chloride and Sulfate, Sulfate: A 0.33-g portion shows no more sulfate than corresponds to 0.10 mL of 0.020 N sulfuric acid (0.03%). [Note— Gently heat the sample preparation to dissolve, if necessary.]
Iron: NMT 30 ppm.
Organic Impurities: to pass the tests by chromatography.
Optical Rotation, Specific Rotation: −29.4° to −32.8°
Sample solution: 10 mg/mL, in water. [Note— Heat gently to dissolve, if necessary.]
pH: 5.5–7.0, in a solution (1 in 100).
Loss on Drying: Dry a sample at 105° for 3 h: it loses NMT 0.3% of its weight.
