Indole-3-acetamide

1H-Indole-3-acetamide also known as auxin amide or 2- (3-indolyl) acetamide belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. Within the cell 1H-indole-3-acetamide is primarily located in the cytoplasm. 1H-Indole-3-acetamide can be biosynthesized from acetamide. Outside of the human body 1H-indole-3-acetamide can be found in a number of food items such as epazote cowpea passion fruit and japanese persimmon. This makes 1H-indole-3-acetamide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
