2-Methylindole-3-acetic acid is a molecule that has been shown to interact with membrane lipids and induce lipid peroxidation. It also interacts with the molecule creatinine, which is excreted in urine, and has been shown to increase urinary levels of creatinine. 2-Methylindole-3-acetic acid has been shown to have antioxidant activity by scavenging radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. The mechanism for this activity is due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with radicals and react with them, thereby removing them from the cell membrane. 2-Methylindole-3-acetic acid also interacts with receptor protein within the cell, targeting intracellular targets such as DNA and RNA molecules. This compound is an endogenous hormone that may reduce cholesterol levels in cells. 2-Methylindole-3-acetic acid was first isolated from the bark of "Indocalamus latifolius" (
