“…Indole is widely found in cruciferous plants and bacteria, and several indole derivatives are closely related to life activities. It plays important roles as an interspecies and interkingdom signaling pathway molecule in a wide range of antiinflammatory and antitumor activities, with minimal side effects and strong selectivity (Järvisalo and Saris, 1975;Banerjee et al, 2011;Chripkova et al, 2016;Huang et al, 2016;Patil et al, 2016;Okada et al, 2017;Singh et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2017;Yu C. P. et al, 2017;Hashmi et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2018). Popular active natural and synthetic indole derivatives have been discovered and investigated (Figure 2; Hurdle et al, 2004;Watanabe et al, 2011;White et al, 2012;Nalamachu and Wortmann, 2014;Montserratde la Paz et al, 2016;Yu H. et al, 2017;Haque et al, 2018).…”
