| Common Name | Indole-3-carbinol |

| Description | Indole-3-carbinol, also known as 3-indolylcarbinol or 1H-indole-3-methanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-Alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position. Indole-3-carbinol is a dietary indole present in cruciferous vegetables that has been shown to influence estradiol metabolism in humans and may provide a new chemopreventive approach to estrogen-dependent diseases (PMID:2342128 ). Indole-3-carbinol is produced by members of the family Cruciferae, particularly members of the genus Brassica (e.g. cabbage, radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and daikon). Indole-3-carbinol is metabolized into a number of products, including the dimeric 3,3'-diindolylmethane. Both 3,3'-diindolylmethane and indole-3-carbinol are thought to have biological effects. Indole-3-carbinol is a natural chemopreventive compound. It has multiple anticarcinogenic and antitumorigenic properties; it can suppress the proliferation of certain cancer cells, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, and leukemic cells (PMID:16634522 , 16082211 ). |
