Objective: Since 5-hydroxyoxindole structurally related indole metabolites play different roles in some hepatic and neurologic disorders we found necessary to develop an assay to further investigate the physiologic relevance of this compound.
Methods: We have designed a convenient assay to determine 5-hydroxyoxindole in serum using solid phase extraction and a highly selective High Performance Liquid Chromatography system with multi-Electro Chemical Detection (HPLC-ECD).
Results: We have identified and quantified 5-hydroxyoxindole in various mammalian species. Its distribution in tissues showed that the molecule is also present in brain, liver, kidney and spleen, but not in skeletal muscle.
Conclusions: 5-hydroxyoxindole is an endogenous tryptophan metabolite present in circulating blood and in some tissues at the nmol level, its determination using HPLC-ECD will be useful for elucidating the role of this molecule in normal and disease conditions.

The antioxidant activities of 5-hydroxyoxindole (1) and newly synthesized 3,5-dihydroxy-3-phenacyl-2-oxindole derivatives against rat liver microsome/tert-butylhydroperoxide system-induced lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide-induced intracellular oxidative stress were investigated. Compound 1 and its derivatives showed significant suppression of lipid peroxidation and an intracellular oxidative stress. The effects of the more lipophilic derivatives tended to be greater than that of the original compound 1.

Isatin is an endogenous oxidized indole that influences a range of processes in vivo and in vitro. It has a distinct and discontinuous distribution in the brain and [3H]isatin binding sites are widely distributed in rat brain sections. The highest labelling is found in hypothalamic nuclei and in the cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum (Crumeyrolle-Arias et al.

5-Hydroxyoxindole has been identified as a urinary metabolite of indole, which is produced from tryptophane via the tryptophanase activity of gut bacteria. We have demonstrated recently that 5-hydroxyoxindole is an endogenous compound in blood and tissues of mammals, including humans. To date, 5-hydroxyoxindole's role is unknown.
