General information
Class/mechanism: Tryptophan hydroxylase inhibitor. Tryptophan hydroxylase controls the rate limiting step of the biosynthesis of serotonin, which plays a role in regulating the secretion, motility, inflammation, and sensation of the gastrointestinal tract, and is over-produced in patients with carcinoid syndrome. Telotristat reduces the frequency of carcinoid syndrome diarrhea by decreasing the production of serotonin.[1][2][3]
