Description

Methyl indole-6-carboxylate is a molecule that has been synthetized and its activity against Staphylococcus aureus has been tested. The bioassay was activated by the addition of nicotinic acetylcholine. The reaction products were analyzed by sequencing and primer extension reactions, which confirmed methyl indole-6-carboxylate as an inhibitor of bacterial protein synthesis. This molecule interacts with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in the bacteria, causing it to release acetylcholine. Methyl indole-6-carboxylate also inhibits the enzyme DNA primase, which is required for DNA replication.
