A ball-and-stick-style structural diagram depicts 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), an indole amino acid derivative and small molecule studied in biochemistry, pharmacology, and neurochemistry. The molecule shows an indole ring with a 5-hydroxyl group, a side-chain primary amine, and a terminal carboxylic acid; atoms are color-coded (carbon gray, oxygen red, nitrogen blue, hydrogen white). In hierarchical context, it is a metabolite within the serotonin biosynthetic pathway, serving as the direct precursor of serotonin (5-HT) and melatonin via AADC (aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase).
