Conversion of indole to oxindole under methanogenic conditions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
When indole was incubated under methanogenic conditions with an inoculum of sewage sludge, the chemical was metabolized with 10 days and temporary formation of an intermediate was observed. The metabolite was isolated by thin-layer chromatography and determined to be 1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2one (oxindole) by UV spectroscopy (lambdaMAX, 247 nm) and mass spectrometry (m/z, 133). The methane produced (net amount) indicated nearly complete mineralization of indole.

Peroxide oxidation of indole to oxindole by chloroperoxidase catalysis.
In the presence of chloroperoxidase, indole was oxidized by H2O2 to give oxindole as the major product. Under most conditions oxindole was the only product formed, and under optimal conditions the conversion was quantitative. This reaction displayed maximal activity at pH 4.6, although appreciable activity was observed throughout the entire pH range investigated, namely pH 2.5-6.0. Enzyme satur...
متن کاملThe metabolism of [2-14C] indole in the rat.
1. [2-(14)C]Indole has been synthesized from [(14)C]formate and o-toluidine via N[(14)C]-formyltoluidine. 2. When fed to rats, the (14)C of [(14)C]indole (dose 70-80mg./kg. body wt.) is fairly rapidly excreted, and in 2 days an average of 81% appears in the urine, 11% in the faeces and 2.4% as carbon dioxide in the expired air. 3. Radioactivity is excreted in the urine as indoxyl sulphate (50% ...

A new metabolite of the plant growth substance indole-3-acetic acid has been extracted from Zea mays seedlings and characterized as the 7'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside of 7-hydroxy-2-oxindole-3-acetic acid. This compound was the major product formed from [5-3H] 2-oxindole-3-acetic acid, incubated with intact plants or root and coleoptile sections. Identification was by gas chromatography-mass spect...

Ammonium monovanadate (NH4VO3) has been devoted as an efficient, commercially available, eco-friendly and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs), oxindole derivatives and also Michael adducts of indoles at 50 °C under solvent-free conditions. The reusability of this solid acid catalyst in addition with its selectivity has also been examined.
متن کاملMetabolism of 3-methylindole by a methanogenic consortium.
A methanogenic 3-methylindole (3-MI)-degrading consortium, enriched from wetland soil, completely mineralized 3-MI. Degradation proceeded through an initial hydroxylation reaction forming 3-methyloxindole. The consortium was unable to degrade oxindole or isatin, suggesting a new pathway for 3-MI fermentation.
