5-methylindole, also known as skatole, is a naturally occurring heterocyclic organic compound with a strong fecal odor. It is a derivative of indole and is found in feces, coal tar, and some foods. 5-methylindole is synthesized by the bacterial degradation of tryptophan in the intestines. It has been studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is also a known irritant and can cause skin and respiratory irritation. 5-methylindole is of interest to researchers because of its role in various physiological processes, including the regulation of gut microbiota and its potential as a biomarker for certain diseases.
