As nouns the difference between indole and indolenine
is that indole is an organic compound, C8H7N, found in coal tar, and produced in the gut by the bacterial decomposition of tryptophan; it is an aromatic bicyclic heterocycle having a benzene ring fused with a pyrrole ring; indole and its derivatives occur widely in nature and have many industrial applications while indolenine is a bicyclic heterocycle that is an isomer of indole, the double bond of the pyrrole ring being between the nitrogen atom and one of the carbon atoms rather than betwen the two carbon atoms. A synonym of "3H-indole".
