• Name: 5-Chloro-3-methyl-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde

Description

5-Chloro-3-methyl-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde is a 4-chloro-2-methylaniline derivative that is an inhibitor of the human RNA transcriptase. It can be synthesized from 2,4,5,6-tetrachlorobenzothiazole and 5,5′dichloroacetophenone. This compound has been shown to inhibit HIV replication in vitro. The compound binds to the RNA transcriptase enzyme and blocks the enzymatic activity of this enzyme by competing with the natural substrate for binding sites. Consequently, it inhibits transcription of viral RNA.
