Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlutamyltryptophan
DescriptionGlutamyltryptophan is a dipeptide composed of glutamate and tryptophan, and is a proteolytic breakdown product of larger proteins. It belongs to the family of N-acyl-alpha amino acids and derivatives. These are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Glutamyltryptophan is an incomplete breakdown product of protein digestion or protein catabolism. Some dipeptides are known to have physiological or cell-signaling effects although most are simply short-lived intermediates on their way to specific amino acid degradation pathways following further proteolysis. Glutamyltryptophan can be found in feces (PMID: 27015276 ). The synthetic version of this dipeptide is named Oglufanide. It was originally developed to treat severe infectious disease in Russia (where it is a registered pharmaceutical), and was extensively studied in cancer clinical trials in the United States before being acquired by Implicit Bioscience in 2005. Oglufanide works as a regulator of the body's immune response and is being given by intranasal administration to patients with chronic hepatitis C viral infection (DB05779).

Chemical Taxonomy
Description Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as peptides. Peptides are compounds containing an amide derived from two or more amino carboxylic acid molecules (the same or different) by formation of a covalent bond from the carbonyl carbon of one to the nitrogen atom of another.
