N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan (NAT, Ac-Trp-OH) is used a substance P NK1 tachykinin receptor antagonist. N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan is also used as a competitive inhibitor to identify, differentiate and characterized tryptophanase(s).

Previous studies have demonstrated that the compound N-acetyl-L-tryptophan (NAT) reduces brain edema and improves functional outcome following traumatic brain injury (TBI). In this study we examined whether this effect was mediated via the neurokinin-1 receptor, and whether there was an
Previous studies have suggested that substance P (SP) plays a critical role in the development of brain oedema and functional deficits following traumatic brain injury and that SP receptor antagonism may improve outcome. No studies have described such a role
Tryptophan and melatonin are nitrated by peroxynitrite; tryptophan residues in proteins are susceptible to attack by reactive nitrogen species. Nitrated tryptophan might therefore be used as a biomarker for the involvement of reactive species derived from nitrogen oxide in a
Emend, an NK1 antagonist, and dexamethasone are used to treat complications associated with metastatic brain tumours and their treatment. It has been suggested that these agents exert anticancer effects apart from their current use. The effects of the NK1 antagonists

Brain edema and swelling is a critical factor in the high mortality and morbidity associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Despite this, the mechanisms associated with its development are poorly understood and interventions have not changed in over 30 years.
