Description

3,3'-Diindolyl is a molecule that belongs to the class of oxindoles. Oxindoles are bioactive molecules that are formed by the reduction of 3,3'-dihydroxyindole (oxindole). The borohydride reduction of 3,3'-dihydroxyindole yields 3,3'-diindolyl. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and can be used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as congestive heart failure. 3,3'-Diindolyl is also an acidic compound and therefore can be used as an acidic buffer in pharmacopeia. It reacts with peroxide to form an aldehyde after oxidation. This reaction is catalyzed by sodium borohydride reduction or hydrogen peroxide. The borohydride reduction of 3,3'-diindolyl yields 2-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxyethyl) indole (oxindole).
