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.

Bioactivity
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]

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experiments For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, TargetMol | Animal experiments and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of TargetMol | reagent 10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH2O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.
Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSOTargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 μL PEG300TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 μL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 μL Saline,PBS or ddH2OTargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
