Main Uses

  • Biochemical & Research Field: Widely used as a biochemical reagent and laboratory detection reagent, suitable for cell pharmacology, pharmacy, molecular biology and other scientific research fields. It is also used as a reference substance for qualitative and quantitative analysis, and can be used to study the metabolic pathways of indole compounds in organisms.
  • Pharmaceutical & Organic Synthesis: As an important indole derivative and pharmaceutical intermediate, it is used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical raw materials, indole-based drugs and functional compounds. It can also be used as a key building block in organic synthesis to prepare various indole-containing derivatives with potential pharmacological activities.
  • Other Fields: Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fine chemicals; it can form red needle-like crystals with picric acid, which is used in the identification and separation of indole compounds. It is also applied in the research and development of organic materials and special chemical reagents.
