High Quality Skatole/3-Methylindole Cas 83-34-1

At high concentrations, it emits an intense fecal odor and is one of the primary volatile components responsible for the foul smell of feces;

However, at extremely low concentrations, it gives off an aroma resembling jasmine blossoms or ripe fruit, and is therefore widely utilized in the fragrance industry.

Skatole occurs naturally in substances such as mammalian feces, beets, *Meliosma* wood, and coal tar; it can also be produced through chemical synthesis.

In addition to playing a significant role in daily-use fragrances and food additives, skatole possesses certain pharmacological properties—such as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects—though it also exhibits moderate toxicity and can induce pulmonary edema in certain animals.
