Tryptophol is an indole that has been found in plants, bacteria, fungi, and sponges and has diverse biological activities, including antifungal, sleep-promoting, and quorum-sensing-related properties.{45419,45418,45420} Tryptophol (100 μM) inhibits the growth of the chytrid fungal skin pathogens B. dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans in vitro.{45419} As a quorum-sensing molecule, it also induces autostimulation and increases tryptophol production in B. dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans cultures when used at a concentration of 1 μM. Tryptophol (400 mg/kg) induces sleep in mice as assessed by loss of the righting reflex.{45420}
