Oxindole (2-indolone) is an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound with the formula C6H4CH2C(O)NH. It has a bicyclic structure, consisting of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered nitrogen-containing ring. Oxindole is a modified indoline with a substituted carbonyl at the second position of the 5-member indoline ring. Classified as a cyclic amide, it is a pale yellow solid.
Formation and reactions
[edit]Oxindole is derived in nature from tryptophan, formed by gut bacteria ("normal flora"). It is normally metabolized and detoxified from the body by the liver. In excess, it can cause sedation, muscle weakness, hypotension, and coma. Patients with hepatic encephalopathy have been recorded to have elevated serum oxindole levels.[1]
Treatment with phosphorus pentasulfide gives the thione.
Oxindoles
[edit]Beyond the parent compound, the oxindole structure is present in many compounds[2] including, for example, rhynchophylline, 3-methyloxindole,[3] and semaxanib.[4]
Rhynchophylline, a naturally occurring oxindole is a medicinal used as an NMDA antagonist and a calcium channel blocker.[5]
