• Beschreibung: 5-Chloroindole-3-acetic acid (5CI3A) is a compound that belongs to the indole class of compounds. It is structurally similar to the amino acid tryptophan, which makes it a good template molecule for the synthesis of other indoles. 5CI3A is mainly found in plants and bacteria, where it acts as an auxin. In plants, 5CI3A stimulates cell elongation and leaf growth by interacting with plant hormones such as auxins and gibberellins. This compound also binds to serum albumin, which may be responsible for its low toxicity in humans. 5CI3A has been shown to inhibit the activity of human serum albumin by forming hydrogen bonds with it. This inhibition reduces the binding affinity of 5CI3A for other proteins in serum, making it less likely to interact with them than if there were no binding competition.
