Beschreibung

Indole-3-propionic acid methyl ester is a microbial metabolite that is excreted in urine. Indole-3-propionate methyl ester has been shown to be an important metabolite for the microbiota and has been found to have a complex interaction with tryptophan metabolism. This compound can be detected in urine samples, which can be used as an indicator of microbial activity. Indole-3-propionic acid methyl ester can also be used as a biomarker for monitoring the efficacy of antibiotics, since it is produced by the action of gut microbiota on indolecarboxylic acids. The compound is excreted in urine and this makes it useful for monitoring the effect of drugs on microbiota metabolism. It can also be used as an endogenous metabolite to study the effects of endogenous metabolites on microbial metabolism and conformation, using liquid chromatography and reaction monitoring techniques.
