In the title compound, C19H16N4O3, the stereocenter has an l configuration; l-tryptophan methyl ester hydro-chloride being used as a starting material. The indole ring system and the pyridine ring are inclined to one another by 13.55 (14)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the c-axis direction.

The title compound, C7H13N3O2(2+).2Cl-, has distances and angles quite similar to those of histidine hydrochloride monohydrate [Donohue & Caron (1964). Acta Cryst. 17, 1178-1180], except for the distances within the ester functionality.
