  <description>Indigocarmine is an organic compound with the formula C16H10N2O8S2 and an average molecular weight of 422.39 g/mol. Indigocarmine belongs to the indolines, a subclass of indoles and derivatives within the organic compounds. It is categorized as an organoheterocyclic compound.

Regarding its pharmacological profile, there are six recorded protein targets for this substance. It acts as an agonist of the Alpha-1D adrenergic receptor (ADRA1D) as well as the Alpha-2A, Alpha-2B, and Alpha-2C adrenergic receptors (ADRA2A, ADRA2B, and ADRA2C). Additionally, two other proteins are recorded as targets. Indigocarmine is found in or released from one recorded source: unclassified diagnostic agents within healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products. The recorded exposure routes for this compound are intravenous and intramuscular.</description>
