Description

Indole-3-carboxaldehyde is a chemical compound that is used as an antimicrobial agent. The biological properties of this compound are not well studied, but it has been shown to be effective against bacteria and fungi. Indole-3-carboxaldehyde has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activity of sodium carbonate, which is involved in the production of lactic acid in bacteria. This effect may contribute to its antibacterial activity. Indole-3-carboxaldehyde is also a potential anticancer agent because it can bind to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Indole-3-carboxaldehyde reacts with sulfa drugs through a mechanism similar to the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate. It has been shown that indole-3-carboxaldehyde can be used as a pesticide for plants and as an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy probe for histological analysis.
