Description

5-Methylindole is a molecule that has been found to be active against Staphylococcus aureus. This drug interferes with the synthesis of glycogen, which is an important energy storage molecule in animals. 5-Methylindole inhibits glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) activity and thereby reduces the production of proinflammatory cytokines. This drug has also been shown to have cardiac effects, such as tachycardia and arrhythmias in mice. The optical properties of 5-methylindole are characterized by fluorescence and absorbance spectra, as well as its chemical reactions. 5-Methylindole is detectable at concentrations of 10 µg/mL and reacts with aminoglycosides by forming an adduct that can be detected using chromatographic methods.
