Description

3-(1H-Indol-1-yl)propanoic acid is an inhibitor of Cox-1 and Cox-2, which are enzymes that produce prostaglandins. It also inhibits the production of nitric oxide in vessels by blocking the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. 3-(1H-Indol-1-yl)propanoic acid has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in glioma cells and has been studied as a potential treatment for cancer. 3-(1H-Indol-1-yl)propanoic acid has a methyl ester group, which allows it to be administered orally or intravenously, and is converted to its active form with sulfhydryl groups on cox enzymes. The mechanism of action of 3-(1H-Indol-1-yl)propanoic acid is believed to be due to inhibition of the transfer of quinoline derivatives from NADPH to cox enzymes. This drug binds tightly with try
