Application
6-Fluoro-DL-tryptophan (6-F-TRP), a serotonin (5-HT) synthesis inhibitor, is metabolized in the brain and may be useful for tracing neuronal serotoninergic pools. 6-F-TRP is used as a competitive inhibitor of tryptophan binding to albumin and passage through the blood brain barrier (BBB).

After intraperitoneal injection of rats with 6-fluorotryptophan (6-FT), brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels decreased exponentially over 1 h. Depletion was dose-dependent and maximum depletion was observed at 200 mg/kg. 6-FT (200 mg/kg) did not significantly alter the content of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid.

6-Fluoro-serotonin (6F-5-HT) was previously identified in the rat brain after peripheral administration of 6-fluoro-DL-tryptophan, a serotonin (5-HT) synthesis inhibitor. These present studies, performed with rat brain synaptosomes show that: i-neuronal 6F-5-HT uptake partly involved the 5-HT transporter since it was

Rat cellular retinol-binding protein II (CRBP II) is a 15.6-kDa intestinal protein which binds all-trans-retinol and all-trans-retinal but not all-trans-retinoic acid. We have previously analyzed the interaction of Escherichia coli-derived rat apoCRBP II with several retinoids using fluorescence spectroscopic techniques.

Rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) 13C NMR spectra (with 19F dephasing) have been obtained of 6-fluorotryptophan complexed by a polymeric amphiphilic nanosphere consisting of a polystyrene core covalently attached to a poly(acrylic acid)-polyacrylamide shell. The REDOR spectra show that aromatic carbons from
