| Description | Indole-2-carboxylic acid is an indole carboxylic acid compound with multi-target biological activity, exhibiting neuroprotective, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. Indole-2-carboxylic acid is a competitive antagonist at the glycine site of the NMDA receptor (Ki = 15 μM). Indole-2-carboxylic acid specifically inhibits the potentiating effect of glycine on NMDA-gated currents, blocking the neurotoxicity caused by excessive NMDA receptor activation, and can be used in research on the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and cerebral ischemic injury. Indole-2-carboxylic acid is also an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor; it interferes with the integration of viral DNA into the host genome and can be used in the development of anti-HIV drugs. |
| In vitro | Methods: Rat (Long Evans, 1–10 days old) cortical or spinal cord neurons were preincubated with indole-2-carboxylic acid (0.01–1000 μM) and glycine (10 nM–40 μM). Following preincubation, NMDA (30 μM) was applied, and steady-state currents were recorded (averaged over the final 10–20 s) . Results: Indole-2-carboxylic acid (0.01–1000 μM) competitively inhibited the potentiating effect of glycine on NMDA receptors in rat cortical/spinal cord neurons, with an IC₅₀ of 105 μM.[1] |
| In vivo | Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent lateral fluid-impact brain injury. Indole-2-carboxylic acid (20 or 50 mg/kg) was administered intravenously 15 minutes after injury. Behavioral assessments continued for 2 weeks post-injury, and neurochemical markers were measured 48 hours post-injury. Results: Indole-2-carboxylic acid significantly improved trauma-induced cognitive impairment, and at 2 weeks post-injury, it improved neuromotor function. [2] |
