Description

7-Methylindole is a biochemical substance that is synthesized in the body. It is produced in the liver, and it can be found in the brain, heart, and kidney. 7-Methylindole has been shown to have cancer-fighting properties. 7-Methylindole binds to DNA by methylating nucleic acid bases, which causes a change in the genetic code. This leads to tumor cells being more sensitive to treatment with other substances that inhibit DNA synthesis or repair, such as anthranilate and 5-methoxyindole.
