The most common naturally ocurring plant growth hormone in the auxin group. Induces cell division and elongation, promotes root growth and callus formation.
Application Notes
Indole-3-acetic acid, one of its derivatives bis-2-indolyl disulphide has been used to synthesize tyrosin kinase inhibitors. It can also be used as a starting material to synthesize DBI receptor ligands. Methyl ester of indole-3-acetic acid reacts with dimethylamine and the resulting amide on reduction with Lithium aluminium hydride gives the hallucinogen N,N-Dimethyltryptamine. Used as a plant growth regulator as a principle auxin of higher plants. Can also be used as a starting material to synthesize DBI receptor ligands.
