5-(Benzyloxy)-1-methyl-1H-indole is a potent inhibitor of human prostate enzyme. It also has inhibitory activity against other nonsteroidal human enzymes, including the potent inhibitory activity against human benzoyl peroxide reductase. 5-(Benzyloxy)-1-methyl-1H-indole inhibits steroid biosynthesis in the human prostate gland, inhibiting the conversion of cholesterol to testosterone.
