Indoline is a drug that belongs to the class of drugs used for treating diabetes mellitus. It is an orally active hypoglycemic agent, which lowers blood sugar by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas. Indoline also has inhibitory properties against replication of viruses and cancer cells, and can be used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Indoline is a precursor to the anti-cancer drug indoramin. The synthesis of indoline involves a Suzuki coupling reaction with hydroxylated indole substituted with two chlorine atoms or two bromine atoms. This coupling reaction yields both the 2-chloroindoline and 2-bromoindoline products in a 1:1 ratio.

Indole is used in perfumery and in preparing tryptophan, one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in animal proteins. It has important application in the industry of plant growth. It is used to prepare indoleacetic acid (auxin) and other plant growth substances which help the development of roots in plant. Indole and its derivatives are widely used in making perfumes, dyes, agrochemicals and medicines.
