General description

4-Aminoindole is an indole derivative. Its cytokinin activity has been assessed by tobacco pith callus bioassay. 4-Aminoindole can be prepared by reacting 2,6-dinitrotoluene and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal in anhydrous DMF.

Application

4-Aminoindole may be used to synthesize:
  • macrolactam tumour promoter indolactam V
  • tricyclic structure of 2-substituted-pyrrolo[2,3-h]quinolin-4-one
  • 4-azidoindole
Reactant for preparation of:
  • Inhibitors of bacterial thymidylate synthase
  • Mimetics of non-alkaloid toxin lignan anticancer and antiviral agent Podophyllotoxin (PPT)
  • Inhibitors of Gli1-mediated transcription in the Hedgehog pathway
  • Protein kinase C θ (PKCθ) inhibitors
  • Indolic non-peptidic HIV protease inhibitors
  • Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) antagonists
  • Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitors
  • 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) inhibitors
  • Short chain 4-substituted indoles as potent αvβ3 antagonist
  • Ligands of serotonin transporter and 5-HT1A receptors
