We investigated the bioapplications of N′-formylkynurenine (NFK), a major product formed through the reaction between tryptophan (an amino acid) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by plasma processes. NFK demonstrated antibacterial activity against E. coli, with a unique feature of sustained antimicrobial activity under neutral pH conditions.
In addition, NFK showed potential for promoting plant growth and enhancing cell proliferation, indicating promising applications in agriculture and medicine.
