Common NameIndole-beta-carboxylic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionPresent in plants, e.g. apple (Pyrus malus), garden pea (Pisum sativum) and brassicas Indole-3-carboxylic acid is a normal urinary indolic tryptophan metabolite (PMID 4844607) and has been found elevated in patients with liver diseases (PMID 13905029). Indole-beta-carboxylic acid is found in many foods, some of which are brussel sprouts, pomes, pulses, and cucumber.
