描述
Indolepyruvate, also known as indolepyruvic acid or (indol-3-yl)pyruvate, belongs to indolyl carboxylic acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a carboxylic acid chain (of at least 2 carbon atoms) linked to an indole ring. Indolepyruvate is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Indolepyruvate can be found in a number of food items such as spelt, strawberry, gram bean, and oregon yampah, which makes indolepyruvate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Indolepyruvate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
