7-Hydroxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid

Description:
7-Hydroxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid, also known as tryptophan-5-hydroxy acid, is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which features a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. This compound contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 7-position and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at the 2-position of the indole ring, contributing to its acidic properties. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the carboxylic acid and hydroxyl groups. This compound is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolic pathways involving tryptophan. Its potential applications may extend to pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, where it could serve as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of various biologically active molecules. As with many indole derivatives, it may exhibit biological activity, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, although specific activities would depend on further empirical studies.
