The best-known group of these compounds is the indole alkaloids, members of which have been isolated from plants representing more than 30 families. Application In Synthesis of 771-51-7.
Zhao, Yun-Xiu;Yang, Wen-Long;Guo, Ling;Jiang, Huo-Yong;Cheng, Xi;Dai, Yi-Jun research published 《 Bioinformatics of a novel nitrile hydratase gene cluster of the N2-fixing bacterium Microvirga flocculans CGMCC 1.16731 and characterization of the enzyme》, the research content is summarized as follows. Microvirga flocculans CGMCC 1.16731 can degrade many cyano group-containing neonicotinoid insecticides. Here, its genome was sequenced, and a novel nitrile hydratase gene cluster was discovered in a plasmid. The NHase gene cluster (pnhF) has gene structure β-subunit 1, α-subunit, and β-subunit 2, which is different from previously reported NHase gene structures. Phylogenetic anal. of α-subunits indicated that NHases containing the three subunit (β1αβ2) structure are independent from NHases containing two subunits (αβ). PnhF was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified PnhF could convert the nitrile-containing insecticide flonicamid to N-(4-trifluoromethylnicotinoyl)glycinamide. The enzymic properties of PnhF were investigated using flonicamid as a substrate. Homol. models revealed that amino acid residue β1-Glu56 may strongly affect the catalytic activity of PnhF. This study expands our understanding of the structures and functions of NHases and the enzymic mechanism of the environmental fate of flonicamid.
771-51-7, 3-Indoleacetonitrile is a plant growth activator, which promotes callus growth and shoot formation in tobacco callus.
3-Indoleacetonitrile (Indolylacetonitrile) is a light-induced auxin-inhibitory substance that is isolated from light-grown cabbage (Brassica olearea L.) shoots. It inhibits the biofilm formation of both E. coli O157:H7 and P. aeruginosa without affecting its growth.
3-Indoleacetonitrile, also known as 3-(cyanomethyl)indole or IAN, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position. 3-Indoleacetonitrile exists as a solid and is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral. Within the cell, 3-indoleacetonitrile is primarily located in the mitochondria. 3-Indoleacetonitrile participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3-indoleacetonitrile can be biosynthesized from acetonitrile. 3-Indoleacetonitrile is also a parent compound for other transformation products, including but not limited to, cys(ian)-gly, gammaglucys(ian), and L-cys(ian). Outside of the human body, 3-indoleacetonitrile can be found in a number of food items such as cloudberry, japanese persimmon, horned melon, and evergreen huckleberry. This makes 3-indoleacetonitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Indole-3-acetonitrile is a nitrile that is acetonitrile where one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 1H-indol-3-yl group. It has a role as an auxin, a plant hormone, a plant metabolite and a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a nitrile and a member of indoles. It derives from an acetonitrile., Application In Synthesis of 771-51-7
