Common Name3,3'-bis-indolyl(phenyl)methane
Description3,3'-bis-indolyl(phenyl)methane is a bis-indole derivative classified within the chemical class of indole compounds. Its structure features two indole rings linked to a phenyl group via a methylene bridge, contributing to its unique physicochemical properties. The compound has been studied for its ability to form large molecular self-aggregates in aqueous solutions, which can disaggregate in the presence of γ-cyclodextrin through inclusion complexation, as noted in previous studies (PMID:40400494 ). This self-aggregation behavior may influence its solubility and bioavailability, potentially affecting its interactions within biological systems. While the compound's specific biological pathways are not the focus here, it is known to participate in various cellular processes, including modulation of signaling pathways and interactions with cellular receptors. The unique structural features and aggregation properties of 3,3'-bis-indolyl(phenyl)methane make it a compound of interest in both chemical and biological research contexts.
