General description

5-Hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid on oxidation with KMnO4 yields pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid[1].

Application

5-Hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid was used in HPLC-amperometric detection of serotonin in plasma, platelets and urine[2].
  • Reactant for preparation of indole C5-O-substituted seco-cyclopropylindole analogs as potential anticancer agents
  • Reactant for microwave combinatorial synthesis of indolic arylpiperazine derivatives as ligands for 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors
  • Reactant for preparation of melanins as novel nature-inspired radioprotectors
  • Reactant for preparation of 5-Hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid amides as histamine-3 receptor inverse agonists for the treatment of obesity
  • Reactant for preparation of conformationally constrained peptidomimetic inhibitors of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3)
  • Reactant for preparation of oxadiazole analogs as nonpeptidic SH2 inhibitors of tyrosine kinase ZAP-70

We describe an isocratic liquid-chromatographic method with amperometric detection for determination of serotonin by rapid sample preparation. Platelet-poor plasma and platelets were injected after a single deproteinization step with perchloric acid. Addition of sodium borohydride to whole blood avoids oxidation

N-Ethylpentylone (NEP) is a popular synthetic cathinone abused worldwide. To obtain more information about its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, a rapid, simple and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the determination of NEP, two important neurotransmitters, dopamine and

Gut microbiota-host co-metabolites play an essential role in maintaining homeostasis, and their concentration changes are closely related to a variety of diseases. Developing a targeted metabolomics analytical platform for these co-metabolites will help to elucidate the relationship between intestinal flora
