Description

Indole-3-acetonitrile is a natural product that belongs to the class of antimicrobial agents. It has been shown to have antiinflammatory activity in mice and to inhibit enzyme activities in the plasma of rats. This compound was also found to be an inhibitor of indole synthesis, which may provide insight into its potential use as a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. Indole-3-acetonitrile has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against galleria mellonella, which are insect larvae that are used as model organisms for research on development and genetics. The biological properties of this compound have been studied using structural analysis and biochemical research.
