Description
Tryptophol is an aromatic alcohol and secondary metabolite produced by microorganisms. Tryptophol induces apoptosis and cleavage of caspase-8. Tryptophol inhibits Cunninghamella blakesleeana biofilm. Tryptophol has anti-phage infection, biofilm formation regulation, anti-inflammatory, hemolytic, sleep induction, temperature change, seizure susceptibility and immune regulation activities. Tryptophol is used in the research of African trypanosomiasis, sleep disorders, epilepsy[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].
