 |  | Definition | ChEBI: A nitrile that is acetonitrile where one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 1H-indol-3-yl group. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 39, p. 1340, 1961 DOI: 10.1139/v61-169 Journal of the American Chemical Society, 75, p. 3589, 1953 DOI: 10.1021/ja01110a506
 |  | General Description | 3-Indoleacetonitrile (Indolylacetonitrile) is a light-induced auxin-inhibitory substance that is isolated from light-grown cabbage (Brassica olearea L.) shoots. It inhibits the biofilm formation of both E. coli O157:H7 and P. aeruginosa without affecting its growth. |
