3-Phenyl-1H-indole is a heterocyclic organic compound that has been used in cancer therapy. It has shown to be an effective antitumor agent against leukemic cells, and also prevents the development of mammary tumors in rats. The mechanism is not known, but it may be due to its ability to inhibit fatty acid synthesis or transport across the cell membrane. 3-Phenyl-1H-indole is also membrane permeable and can be taken up by cells more effectively than other similar drugs. This drug binds to anions such as chloride ions, which are found on the surface of membranes in animal cells. The mechanism of action may involve binding with these anions, which could result in a change in membrane permeability or transport of other substances across the membrane.
