Indole-3-acetonitrile

Indole-3-acetonitrile is an indole alkaloid that has been found in cabbage and has antibacterial activity. It reduces biofilm formation by E. coli and P. aeruginosa when used at a concentration of 100 µg/ml. The levels of indole-3-acetonitrile are increased in P. brassicae-infected cabbage roots.Formal Name: 1H-indole-3-acetonitrile. CAS Number: 771-51-7.
