3-Indolepropionic acid (Cat No.:R060347) is a naturally occurring indole derivative with the molecular formula C11H11NO2. It consists of an indole ring attached to a propionic acid side chain at the 3-position. IPA is produced by gut microbiota, particularly Clostridium sporogenes, and is known for its potent antioxidant properties, surpassing those of melatonin in certain systems. It protects cells from oxidative stress and has shown potential neuroprotective effects, making it of interest in neurological and aging-related research. Additionally, IPA serves as a building block in pharmaceutical synthesis and biochemical studies involving indole metabolism.
