Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl indole-3-propanoate
DescriptionMethyl indole-3-propanoate, also known as methyl indole-3-propionate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as indolyl carboxylic acids and derivatives. Indolyl carboxylic acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboxylic acid chain (of at least 2 carbon atoms) linked to an indole ring. Methyl indole-3-propanoate is a catabolite of tryptophan converted by the gut microbiota. After absorption through the intestinal epithelium, tryptophan catabolites enter the bloodstream and are later excreted in the urine (PMID: 28916042 ).
