3-Methylindole（Cat No.:R013367）, is a chemical compound also known as skatole. It is an organic compound with a strong and distinct odor, often described as fecal-like. Skatole is found in various natural sources, including animal feces and certain plants. It is produced in the intestines during the digestion of tryptophan-containing proteins and is responsible for the characteristic smell of feces. Skatole has applications in perfumery and flavoring, but its strong odor limits its use in these industries.
