3 3'-DIINDOLYLMETHANE >=98% (HPLC) (C005B-000013)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acid-catalyzed reaction product of a phytochemical naturally found in Brassicaceae, indole-3-carbinol. It functions as an antitumor agent. This derivative can both directly stimulate apoptosis at relatively high concentrations and sensitize TRAIL-induced apoptosis in human cancer cells. DIM induces a G₁ cell cycle arrest in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells by a mechanism that includes increased expression of p21. DIM is a strong mitochondrial H⁺-ATPase inhibitor. The function of DIM and its derivatives as a new plant growth promoter has been studied in an eco-friendly system.
