A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has successfully developed an ultrafast and simple synthetic method for producing indole derivatives. Their findings are expected to make drug production ...

Indole, and structures derived from it, are a component of many natural substances, such as the amino acid tryptophan. A new catalytic reaction produces cyclopenta[b]indoles -- frameworks made of ...

Indole, a molecule made up of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered ring containing nitrogen, forms the core structure of many biologically active compounds. Derivatives of indole, ...

The promoter of the nit1 gene, encoding the predominantly expressed isoform of the Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. nitrilase isoenzyme family, fused to the β-glucuronidase gene (uidA) drives ...

A cost-effective copper-catalyzed reaction enables selective modification at the C5 position of the indole ring, a backbone for pharmaceutical compounds Indole, a molecule made up of a six-membered ...

Indole terpenes have attracted the interests of synthetic chemists due to their complex architectures and potent biological activities. Examples of total syntheses of several indole terpenes were ...

Degradation of indole-3-acetic acid was investigated in etiolated pea shoots; the study was limited to indolic metabolites. The products formed were fractionated by column chromatography and ...
