General description
3-Indoleacetonitrile (Indolylacetonitrile) is a light-induced auxin-inhibitory substance that is isolated from light-grown cabbage (Brassica olearea L.) shoots. It inhibits the biofilm formation of both E. coli O157:H7 and P. aeruginosa without affecting its growth.
Application
Reactant for preparation of:
- Tryptophan dioxygenase inhibitors pyridyl-ethenyl-indoles as potential anticancer immunomodulators
- Histone deacetylase inhibitors
- Potential kinase inhibitors
- Kv7/KCNQ potassium channel activators
- Kinesin-Specific MKLP-2 Inhibitor
- Pesticides
- Potential PET cancer imaging agents
- Agonists of the Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) as atherosclerosis treatment
- Butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors
- Necroptosis inhibitors

Like many crucifer-specialist herbivores, Pieris rapae uses the presence of glucosinolates as a signal for oviposition and larval feeding. Arabidopsis thaliana glucosinolate-related mutants provide a unique resource for studying the in vivo role of these compounds in affecting P. rapae

Arabidopsis thaliana expresses four nitrilases, three of which (NIT1, NIT2 and NIT3) are able to convert indole-3-acetonitrile to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the plant growth hormone, while the isozyme NIT4 is a beta-cyano-l-alanine hydratase/nitrilase. NIT3 promoter activity is marginal in leaves
