Description

Indole-3-glyoxylic acid is a molecule that contains a hydroxyl group, a chloride, an indole carboxylate and an amide. It is found in mammalian cells and has been shown to inhibit the production of platelets by blocking the metabolism of arachidonic acid. Indole-3-glyoxylic acid also has anticancer activity, as it inhibits protein synthesis and cell division. This molecule is also involved in plant physiology, as it stimulates ascidian egg production in the presence of sodium succinate and carbon source. The optimum pH for this reaction is 7.0. Indole-3-glyoxylic acid will react with wild type strains of Escherichia coli to form indoxyl sulphate and glycerol phosphate, which are products of its metabolic breakdown.
