5-bromo-4-chloroindoxyl acetate	An acetate ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of acetic acid with the hydroxy group of 5-bromo-4-chloroindoxyl.	5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl acetate
6-bromotryptophan	A bromoamino acid that is L-tryptophan in which the hydrogen at position 6 of the indole ring is substituted by bromine.	L-6'-bromotryptophan zwitterion; L-6'-bromotryptophan
bnps-skatole	A bromoindole that is 3H-indole in which the hydrogen at position 2 has been replaced by an (o-nitrophenyl)sulfanyl group and in which the hydrogens at position 3 have been replaced by a bromine and a methyl group. It is used particularly for the selective cleavage of tryptophanyl peptide bonds (cleavage occurs at peptide bonds after amino acids with available C(gamma)=C(delta) double bonds such as tryptophan, tyrosine, and histidine).	BNPS-skatole
bromodeoxytopsentin	An aromatic ketone that is imidazole which is substituted by a 1H-indole-3-carbonyl group and a 6-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl group at positions 2 and 4, respectively. Isolated from the Mediterranean shallow-water sponge, Topsentia genetrix. It is a potent inhibitor of MRSA pyruvate kinase and exhibits antibacterial properties.	bromodeoxytopsentin
