Product Information

• Name: 5-Chloroindole-3-carboxaldehyde
• Synonyms: 5-chloro-3-formylindole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Chloroindole-3-carboxaldehyde is a synthetic antiplatelet drug. It is an acceptor that forms base with streptochlorin, which is the donor. The molecular modelling of this chemical has shown that it binds to the amide group of amicetin, which is a molecule in the phyla Actinobacteria. This binding inhibits the activity of amicetin and leads to a low detection of streptochlorin by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). 5-Chloroindole-3-carboxaldehyde has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro, as well as inhibit the growth of Streptococcus pyogenes and other bacteria.
