Oxindole is a chemical compound from the group of indoles and an isomer of indoxyl .
Occurrence
Oxindole is the basic body of the so-called oxindole - alkaloids .
Extraction and presentation
Oxindole is made from aniline and chloroacetyl chloride , among other things . It can also lactamization of o -Aminophenylessigsäure be won.
properties
Oxindole is a colorless to light red solid that is practically insoluble in water.
use
Oxindole is considered an indole analog that shows pharmacological activity. It is also used in hair dyes and as an intermediate for the production of agrochemicals and for chemical syntheses in aldol additions , Claisen condensations or Vilsmeier-Haack reactions in the 3-position or aromatic substitutions in the 5-position. As tyrosine kinase inhibitors, derivatives are possible candidates in cancer therapy .
safety instructions
The occurrence of oxindole in children's urine suggests specific diseases. Tryptophan is metabolized via indole to oxindole, which is broken down in the liver . If oxindole is not broken down there due to a malfunction, it modifies the voltage-dependent sodium channels , reduces motor activity, muscle tone and lowers blood pressure. In hepatic encephalopathy , for example, it is responsible for the occurrence of coma, loss of nerve activity and intellectual abilities.
