'''5-Hydroxytryptophan''' ('''5-HTP'''), used medically as '''oxitriptan''', is a ] ] and ] ] as well as a ] in the ] of the ] ]. |

5-HTP can be manufactured and used as a ] and supplement with the {{Abbrlink|INN|International Nonproprietary Name}} '']''. Brand names include Cincofarm, Levothym, Levotonine, Oxyfan, Telesol, Tript-OH, and Triptum. As a drug, it is used in the treatment of ] and for certain other indications. |

==Production== |
|
|
5-HTP is produced from the amino acid ] through the action of the enzyme ]. Tryptophan hydroxylase is one of the ]. Production of 5-HTP is the rate-limiting step in 5-HT (serotonin) synthesis. 5-HTP is normally rapidly converted to 5-HT by amino acid decarboxylase.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Turner EH, Loftis JM, Blackwell AD | title = Serotonin a la carte: supplementation with the serotonin precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan | journal = Pharmacology & Therapeutics | volume = 109 | issue = 3 | pages = 325–38 | date = March 2006 | pmid = 16023217 | doi = 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2005.06.004 | s2cid = 2563606 | url = https://escholarship.org/uc/item/58h866d5 }}</ref> |
