General description
3-Indolepropionic acid is an effective inhibitor of aggregation of misfolded β-amyloid protein (Abeta). Three-component one-pot procedure has been reported to assemble 3-indolepropionic acids.
Application
Reactant for preparation of:
- Fluorescent analogues of strigolactones
- Anti-tumor agents
- Melanocortin receptors ligands
- Immunosuppressive agents
- Iinhibitors of hepatitis C virus
- Histamine H4 receptor agonists
- NR2B/NMDA receptor antagonists
- CB1 Antagonist for the treatment of obesity
- Antibacterial agents
- Inhibitor of TGF-β receptor binding

The ubiquitin-like protein RELATED TO UBIQUITIN (RUB) is conjugated to CULLIN (CUL) proteins to modulate the activity of Skp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF) ubiquitylation complexes. RUB conjugation to specific target proteins is necessary for the development of many organisms, including Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

The hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of indole-3-propionate was evaluated by kinetic competition studies with the hydroxyl radical trapping reagent 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethyl-benz-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and by measuring hydroxyl radical-initiated lipid peroxidation in the rat striatum. Using ABTS, the indole was shown to

The accumulation of amyloid-beta and concomitant oxidative stress are major pathogenic events in Alzheimer's disease. Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA, OXIGON) is a potent anti-oxidant devoid of pro-oxidant activity. IPA has been demonstrated to be an inhibitor of beta-amyloid fibril formation and
