2-Methylindoline

2-Methylindoline is a synthetic molecule that is used as a dye in industrial applications. It is also used to study the surface morphology of basic fibroblast cells. 2-Methylindoline has been shown to induce cell proliferation and root formation in acylation reactions with bacterial cells. This molecule has been shown to inhibit tumor cell growth by affecting the production of growth factors in mice. 2-Methylindoline also inhibits glomerular filtration rate by inhibiting the activity of subtilisin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins.
