Chemical Information
FooDB NameIndole-3-butyric acid
Description3-Indolebutyric acid, also known as 1H-indole-3-butanoate or 4-(indol-3-yl)butyrate, 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-Indolebutyric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as chickens (Gallus gallus), common peas (Pisum sativum), potatos (Solanum tuberosum), corns (Zea mays), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make 3-indolebutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 3-Indolebutyric acid.
