3-Indolepropionic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of 3-Indolepropionic acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 3-Indolepropionic acid is shown to be a powerful antioxidant and has potential in the treatment for Alzheimers disease. In Vitro: 3-Indolepropionic acid is shown to be a powerful antioxidant and has potential in the treatment for Alzheimers disease [1] . 3-Indolepropionic acid is a more potent scavenger of hydroxyl radicals than melatonin. Similar to melatonin but unlike other antioxidants, 3-Indolepropionic acid scavenges radicals without subsequently generating reactive and pro-oxidant intermediate compounds [2] . It is also suggested that indolepropionic acid, a gut microbiota-produced metabolite, is a potential biomarker for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) that may mediate its protective effect by preservation of beta-cell function [3] .
