General description

Indole-3-carboxaldehyde can undergo Schiff bases condensation to form multifunctional silica nano-vehicles and magnetic nanoparticles[1].

Application

Indole-3-carboxaldehyde was used to prepare analogs of the indole phytoalexin cyclobrassinin with NR1R2 group[2]. It was also used as the starting material for the synthesis of higher order indoles including isoindolo[2,1-a]indoles,[3] aplysinopsins,[4] and 4-substituted-tetrahydrobenz[cd]indoles.[5]
Reactant for preparation of:
  • Analgesic agents
  • Hypoglycemic agents
  • Tryptophan dioxygenase inhibitors pyridyl-ethenyl-indoles as potential anticancer immunomodulators
  • Antibacterial and antifungal agents
  • Antiamoebic and cytotoxic agents
  • Inhibitors of the Dengue virus protease with antiviral activity in cell-culture
  • Curcumin analogues as possible anti-proliferative & anti-inflammatory agents
  • Inhibitors of Bcl-2 family proteins
  • Inhibitors of the C-terminal domain of RNA Polymerase II as antitumor agents
  • Inhibitors of TNF-α and IL-6 with anti-tubercular activity

An effective synthesis of analogs of the indole phytoalexin cyclobrassinin with NR1R2 group instead of SCH3 was developed starting from indole-3-carboxaldehyde. The target compounds were prepared by spirocyclization of 1-Boc-thioureas with the formation of isolable spiroindoline intermediates, followed by the

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
