CAS 1968-05-4: 3,3′-Diindolylmethane

Description: 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is an organic compound derived from indole, specifically formed through the dimerization of indole-3-carbinol, which is found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It is characterized by its two indole rings connected by a methylene bridge. DIM is known for its potential health benefits, particularly in the context of cancer prevention and hormonal balance, as it may influence estrogen metabolism and exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. The compound is typically a yellow to orange crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular formula is C18H16N2, and it has a relatively low molecular weight. DIM has garnered interest in nutritional and pharmaceutical research due to its bioactive properties, and studies have explored its role in modulating various biological pathways, including apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. However, further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and therapeutic potential.
