- 3-(methoxymethyl)-1H-indole
3-Methoxymethylindole is a natural product that can be found in plants and is also synthetically produced. It is used as a precursor to the antibiotic gramicidin and as an intermediate for other organic compounds. 3-Methoxymethylindole has been shown to have anti-cancer properties and to inhibit the production of tryptophan, which may be due to the molecule's ability to bind to DNA. 3-Methoxymethylindole binds tightly with DNA, preventing transcription and replication of genetic material. This prevents protein synthesis, which can lead to cell death.
