• Name: 5-Methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester
• Synonyms: 1H-Indole-2-carboxylic acid, 5-methoxy-, methyl ester, 5-Methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester, Methyl 5-methoxy-2-indolecarboxylate, Methyl 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylate, Methyl 5-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylate

Description

5-Methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester is an allosteric modulator that inhibits the activity of the type I metabotropic glutamate receptor, MT2. It has been shown to inhibit cell growth in vitro and may have a potential use in cancer treatment. 5-Methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester was identified as a new molecular entity by FTIR spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. The reactive site of 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester is at the β position of the indole ring, which is different from other compounds used for modulating MT2 receptors. This molecule also has vibrational and optical properties that are different from other MT2 receptor inhibitors, which may be due to its unique structure.
5-Methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester is structurally similar to an inhibitor
