The electrochemically driven oxidation of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTPP) in the presence of free glutathione (GSH) yields 4-S-glutathionyl-5-hydroxytryptophan (5) and 7-S-glutathionyltryptophan-4,5-dione (7). The latter glutathionyl conjugate is formed both by nucleophilic addition of GSH to tryptopha
