Skatole as a Root Forming Substance

Nature, 1937
THE activity of skatole as a growth-promoting substance has been noted by Glover1. We have carried out experiments which show that skatole accelerates root formation in cuttings. Cuttings of Leptospermum sooparium and of Ficus repens were treated with an aqueous solution of skatole in the manner described by Hitchcock and Zimmerman2, and the cuttings ...

Preliminary observations on skatole production in pigs

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1989
Skatole and indole, compounds formed in the large intestine by microbial breakdown of tryptophan, are associated with carcass taint (Hansson et al., 1980). The present work involved the development of a method for detecting the absolute values of the analytes in fat and faeces.

Skatole Metabolism in the Pigs with Reduced Testicular Oestrogen Synthesis

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2014
ContentThe objectives of the study were to investigate the involvement of oestrogens in the regulation of skatole levels in pigs. In total, 44 intact male pigs, siblings from 10 litters, were included in the study. Pigs were orally treated weekly with either 0.1 mg letrozole/kg body weight to reduce endogenous oestrogens or the canola oil vehicle.

Skatole as a Growth-Promoting Substance

Nature, 1936
INDOLE has been described as being inactive by Thimann and Koepfli1, but skatole ( methyl indole) was apparently not tested. Pure skatole was obtained from B.D.H. and was twice recrystallised to remove possible impurities. Bending experiments were performed using oat coleoptiles (Argentine VI).

Electrophilic substitution in skatole and its derivatives

Tetrahedron, 1958
Abstract Evidence is presented to show that the 2-position is the primary site of electrophilic substitution in skatole and its derivatives. Existing data in the literature are reconciled with this view.

Microbial production of skatole in the hind gut of pigs given different diets and its relation to skatole deposition in backfat

Animal Science, 1995
AbstractThe intestinal production of skatole and its deposition in backfat was investigated in 35 uncastrated crossbred male pigs. The pigs were fed five purified non-commercial diets containing either casein or brewers yeast slurry as protein source.

6-Hydroxyskatole Glucuronide, a Skatole Metabolite

Nature, 1966
THE metabolism of 6-hydroxylated indoles is of interest in view of their possible psychotoxicity as reported by Szara1 and the finding, originally by Leyton2, that 6-hydroxyskatole sulphate is excreted in larger amounts by schizophrenic patients.
