  Effect of Indole and some Indolic Compounds on Muscle Sensitivity to Acetylcholine and Potassium
AMONG the indolic compounds formed from tryptophane in animal intestine, indole, skatole and indolethylamine are those reported to have the strongest pharmacological action.
have examined the effect of indole, skatole, indole-3-acetate and tryptophane on the sensitivity of frog striated muscle to acetylcholine and potassium, finding that only indole increases the response to acetylcholine, while indole, skatole and indoleacetate increase the potassium effect.
, and presumably other indole compounds as well, it seemed interesting to study their effect on the intestinal smooth muscle, as it might have implications in regard to the alterations of intestine motility.

 "Indole 3 Carbinol : by Ray Sahelian, M.D., benefits research
We recently found that indole 3 carbinol functions as an inhibitor of Akt and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), which play important roles in cell survival and which are believed to be potential targets in cancer therapy.
The mechanism of action was linked primarily to the ability of indole 3 carbinol and derived substances to induce mixed-function oxidases and phase II antioxidant enzymes by binding and activating the aryl hydrocarbon receptor.
It does not appear that indole 3 carbinol per se is the primary active compound in chemoprotection or chemoprevention.

 J2. Pyrolysis of Indole, Quinoline and Isoquinoline
Indole, quinoline and isoquinoline are bicyclic compounds, embedded in the structure of coal of many sources and origins and are known to be its major nitrogenous constituents.

Class I indole alkaloids are derivatives which arise from the alpha or beta condensation products of tryptamine with an unrearranged secologanin skeleton.
Class II indole alkaloids are similar to class I, in being derived generally from the condensation of tryptamine with the secologanin skeleton.
Class III indole alkaloids are actually a "mongrel mix" of iboga type alkaloids which are similar to class II alkaloids in the cleavage of the secologanin skeleton at the C-2 position, but with new bond formation between C-2,6 and C-5.

 The Fischer Indole Synthesis: A Semiempirical Study.
Fischer indole synthesis is a well established procedure for the synthesis of substituted indoles.
Several members of the indole alkaloid familiy, flavopereirin and sempervirin among them, have shown antitumor activity.[1] Since our drug-development efforts focus on the indoloquinolizinium moiety, recently we have become interested in synthesizing substituted tryptamines as intermediates for the synthesis of indoloquinolizinium analogues with enhanced antitumor activity.
So it may well be that, in the resulting indole structures, the lone pair on the nitrogen fails to extend the aromatic system to the five-membered ring, and ring strain produces the increased energy.
