General description

3-Indoleacetonitrile (Indolylacetonitrile) is a light-induced auxin-inhibitory substance that is isolated from light-grown cabbage (Brassica olearea L.) shoots[1]. It inhibits the biofilm formation of both E. coli O157:H7 and P. aeruginosa without affecting its growth[2].

Application

Reactant for preparation of:
  • Tryptophan dioxygenase inhibitors pyridyl-ethenyl-indoles as potential anticancer immunomodulators
  • Histone deacetylase inhibitors
  • Potential kinase inhibitors
  • Kv7/KCNQ potassium channel activators
  • Kinesin-Specific MKLP-2 Inhibitor
  • Pesticides
  • Potential PET cancer imaging agents
  • Agonists of the Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) as atherosclerosis treatment
  • Butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors
  • Necroptosis inhibitors

Indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN) is a candidate precursor of the plant growth hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). We demonstrated that IAN has auxinlike effects on Arabidopsis seedlings and that exogenous IAN is converted to IAA in vivo. We isolated mutants with reduced sensitivity

Auxins are hormones that regulate many aspects of plant growth and development. The main plant auxin is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), whose biosynthetic pathway is not fully understood. Indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx) has been proposed to be a key intermediate in the synthesis
