トリプトファンの光分解生成物

(第3報) Kynurenineの化学的調製法

抄録

In previous papers, the authors described on the photolysis of tryptophan and its resulting products.
Afterwards, further experiments were attempted to confirm those products when oxidizable L- and DL-tryptophan were treated with peracetic acid and performic acid.
Among the oxidized products of L-tryptophan, L-kynurenine was isolated and identified as L-kynurenine sulfate monohydrate, and DL-kynurenine sulfate monohydrate was similary derived from DL-tryptophan.
Now L- and DL-kynurenine may be prepared easily by the use of peracetic acid without depending upon the biological method.
