摘要
At physiological pH tryptamine-4,5-dione (1), which might be an aberrant metabolite of 5-hydroxytryptamine involved in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease, reacts rapidly with glutathione to give 7-S-(glutathionyl)-tryptamine-4,5-dione (5). Procedures have been devised to isolate 5 and to elucidate its molecular structure using FAB-MS and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The redox characteristics of 1 and 5 have been elucidated using electrochemical methods. © 1990.
