Product Information

• Name: 7-Benzyloxyindole
• Synonyms: 7-(Phenylmethoxy)-1H-indole7-(Benzyloxy)-indole7-Benzyloxy-1H-indole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 7-Benzyloxyindole is a regulatory compound that is used to study the interactions between transcription factors and chromatin. 7-Benzyloxyindole has been shown to induce caspase-independent cell death in human pathogens. 7-Benzyloxyindole induces reactive oxygen species and alters the expression of genes involved in the immune system and inflammation, suggesting an interaction with transcriptional regulation. 7-Benzyloxyindole's hemolytic activity may be due to its enantiomer, which binds to carotenoids such as β-carotene or retinol and forms a complex that is more reactive than the parent molecule. This reactive form of 7-benzyloxyindole has been shown to induce cell death in staphylococcus, suggesting a possible use for this drug as an antibacterial agent against opportunistic fungal infections.
