Application
- 3,3′-Diindolylmethane inhibits Th17 cell differentiation via impairing IRF-7-mediated plasmacytoid dendritic cell activation in imiquimod-induced psoriasis mice.: The research indicates that 3,3′-Diindolylmethane can effectively inhibit Th17 cell differentiation, offering a potential therapeutic approach for treating psoriasis by targeting plasmacytoid dendritic cell pathways (Rasool et al., 2024).
- Protective effect of diindolylmethane-enriched dietary cabbage against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice.: This study highlights the cardioprotective effects of a diindolylmethane-enriched diet in mice, offering a dietary approach to mitigate the cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin, a common chemotherapeutic agent (Natesh et al., 2024).
- Nanoformulated 3′-diindolylmethane modulates apoptosis, migration, and angiogenesis in breast cancer cells.: The investigation into nanoformulated 3′-diindolylmethane shows it significantly influences apoptosis, migration, and angiogenesis, suggesting its utility in targeted cancer therapies (Harakeh et al., 2024).
- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 3,3′-diindolylmethane N-linked glycoconjugate as a leishmanial topoisomerase IB inhibitor with reduced cytotoxicity.: Research presents a synthesized glycoconjugate of 3,3′-Diindolylmethane as an effective inhibitor of leishmanial topoisomerase IB, demonstrating reduced cytotoxicity and potential as a therapeutic agent (Kour et al., 2023).
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.
