Properties and stability

1. Long-term exposure will cause coloring. A small amount of indole is produced when heated with water. A large amount of indole is produced when heated in the presence of sodium hydroxide or copper sulfate. It is more stable when heated with acid in a dark place. It is easily decomposed when coexisting with other amino acids, sugars and aldehydes.

2. Exist in burley tobacco leaves and smoke.

Storage method

Stored in a sealed, cool, dry and dark place

Synthesis method

1. Chemical synthesis

2.Fermentation method of adding precursors

3 .Direct fermentation method

4. It can be refined from casein through alkaline hydrolysis, or synthesized from β-indole aldehyde and hippuric acid.

Purpose

1. Nutritional and biochemical research. Prepare tissue culture medium.

2.Amino acid drugs. For amino acid infusion. Often combined with iron supplements, vitamins, etc. Used in combination with vitamin B6 to improve depression and prevent and treat pellagra; used as an insomnia sedative in combination with L-dopa to treat Parkinson’s disease; also used in vitamin B6 deficiency tests.
