1H-Indole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid is a hydrocarbon that is found in the environment and can be synthesized. It has a polycyclic structure and an aromatic hydrocarbon group. 1H-Indole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid is also a biomolecule that can be found in plants, animals, and microbes. This molecule reacts with sodium salt to form a new compound called oxone. Oxone cleaves other molecules by oxidative reactions to form benzoquinones. Benzoquinones are toxic compounds that can cause cleavages in DNA strands and oxidize cellular components such as proteins and lipids.
