Bioactivity | Indole-3-pyruvic acid, a keto analogue of tryptophan, is an orally active AHR agonist. Indole-3-pyruvic acid has antioxidant properties, and can be used in the research of inflammation, anxiety[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Indole-3-pyruvic acid (50 and 250 μM, 24 h) activates AHR in HepG2 cells[1].Indole-3-pyruvic acid (50 μM, 4 days) does not inhibit Th1 cell differentiation but promotes Tr1 differentiation[1].Indole-3-pyruvic acid (1 mM, 24 h) reduces UVB-induced cytotoxicity in HaCaT cells[1].Indole-3-pyruvic acid (25 mM, 6 h) reduces the levels of COX-2 in HaCaT cells[2].
