METHYL TRYPTOPHANATE HCL.

Insufficient Data CAS 7524-52-9 / HAIR CONDITIONING

Methyl Tryptophanate HCl is a derivative of tryptophan, an essential amino acid with potential implications for skin health. It is theorized to influence immune responses, reduce inflammation, and support healthy cell proliferation for skin repair.

Summary

Anti-inflammatory Wound healing support Pigmentation regulation Immune response modulation

Science

Mechanism of Action

This tryptophan derivative appears to modulate skin health through its involvement in pathways that regulate immune responses and inflammation, which may address conditions like inflammatory skin and pigmentation disorders. Its parent compound, tryptophan, has demonstrated the ability to promote wound healing by inhibiting TNF-α and IDO activation while stimulating keratinocyte proliferation and migration via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

The L-isomer of Methyl Tryptophanate HCl is associated with GHS hazard statements H315 (Causes skin irritation) and H319 (Causes serious eye irritation) based on ECHA C&L Inventory notification. While the New Zealand EPA allows its use under group standards, specific individual approval is absent. There is no specific CIR, SCCS, or FDA status for cosmetic applications, as the FDA does not pre-approve cosmetic ingredients.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

Methyl Tryptophanate HCl presents a compelling theoretical profile for addressing skin inflammation, pigmentation, and repair, yet specific clinical evidence and comprehensive regulatory assessments for its topical cosmetic application remain limited.
