Mn. Preobrazhenskaya et al., POLYFUNCTIONAL INDOLE-3-CARBINOL DERIVATIVES - 1-(INDOL-3-YL)GLYCEROLS AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS, BETA-HYDROXYTRYPTAMINES AND ASCORBIGENS - CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES, Il Farmaco, 50(6), 1995, pp. 369-377
Earlier interaction of indole-3-carbinols with L-ascorbic acid and che
mical and biological properties of formed 2-skatylderivatives of L-asc
orbic acid (ascorbigens) were discussed. In this presentation the prop
erties and stereochemistry of products of interaction of polyfunctiona
l biologically important indole-3-carbinols (indoleglycerol analogs an
d beta-hydroxytryptamine derivatives) with L-ascorbic acid are investi
gated. Biological significance of this reaction is discussed.
