| Bioactivity | 1-Methylisatin is a potent and selective CE (carboxylesterases) inhibitor, with Kis of 38.2 and 5.38 µM for hiCE and hCE1, respectively. 1-Methylisatin interacts with Hb (human adult hemoglobin) by hydrophobic binding and electrostatic attraction. 1-Methylisatin can be used in the study of regulation of drug metabolism in vivo[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
