Description

3-(1-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid is a potent inhibitor of serine protease. It has been shown to have no effect on fetal heart rate, but can cause bladder cancer in transgenic animals. 3-(1-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid blocks the interaction between mammalian cells and bladder cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to block the activation of serine protease in response to thymidylate. This compound also inhibits DNA synthesis and cell growth. It is highly toxic for tumor cells and normal cells, but less so for normal tissues. It also modifies the regulatory domain of cancer cells, making it possible for 3-(1-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid to modify cancer cell activity by configuring it with a different regulatory domain that regulates the expression of proteins involved in cancer development.
