| In vitro study | DIM is an effective radioprotector and reliever, acting by stimulating ATM-driven DDR-like responses and NF-κB survival signals. DIM can inhibit the invasion, angiogenesis, proliferation and induce apoptosis of tumor cells by regulating signaling pathways, such as AKT, NF-κB and foxo3. It can also inhibit estrogen-induced gene expression and cause endoplasmic reticulum stress. DIM can alter estrogen metabolism and antagonize estrogen and androgen receptor activity. |
| In vivo study | After multiple doses of DIM, it effectively resists whole-body radiation. In in vivo tests, DIM has a radioprotective or mitigating effect. In normal tissues, DIM activates ATM. DIM can be administered to mice by oral gavage (250 mg/kg) with high bioavailability and no acute toxicity. |

Plant Indole - Reference Information
| introduction | 3,3 '-diindole methane (3,3'-Diindolylmethane) is white to white crystalline powder, soluble in methanol, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and other organic solvents. |
| application | 3,3 '-diindole methane widely exists in natural plants of cruciferous family. it has important biological and pharmacological activities and is widely used in the fields of medicine and health products. |
| preparation | place indole (1.17g,10mmol),CTAB(50% mol) and oxalic acid (50% mol) in a 25ml single-mouth round bottom flask, add 5ml of deionized water, stir fully for 5 minutes, and then add formaldehyde aqueous solution (0.38g solution, 5mmol formaldehyde) dropwise. Reaction at room temperature for 3 hours, stop the reaction. The reaction solution was extracted three times with 15ml ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was collected and dried with anhydrous Na2SO4 for 5 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and recrystallized with a mixed solution of methanol and water (methanol/H2O = 10/1) to obtain a white solid 3,3 '-diindole methane with a 85% yield. |
| Biological activity | 3,3 '-Diindolylmethane(DIM) is the main digestion product of indole-3-carbinol, and indole-3-carbinol is a potential anti-cancer substance in cruciferous vegetables. 3,3 '-Diindolylmethane(DIM) is a purely strong antagonist of androgen receptor (AR). |
| Target | Value |
| Use | Pharmaceutical intermediates; can be found in natural phytochemicals belonging to cruciferous plants, acid-catalyzed reaction products, indole -3-methanol; It has the function of anti-tumor agent; this derivative, under relatively high concentration conditions, can directly accelerate the apoptosis of human cancer cells, and can also sensitize TRAIL to induce the apoptosis of human cancer cells; DIM induces a G1 cell loop inhibition, which is expressed in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells through mechanism and inclusion. DIM is a powerful inhibitor of mitochondrial H -ATPase. As a new plant growth promoter, the function of DIM and its derivatives has been applied to eco-friendly systematic research |
