Beschreibung

5-Hydroxy-6-methoxyindole-carboxylic acid (5-HMICA) is a molecule that is found in the pericardium and urine of patients with cancer. 5-HMICA has been shown to suppress tumor growth and activate cell mediated cytotoxicity in vitro. It also induces T helper type 1 (Th1) immune responses, which are associated with the production of cytokines such as interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha.

5-HMICA has been shown to have anti-cancer properties by inducing tumor cell death through a number of mechanisms including modulation of antioxidant enzymes, suppression of DNA repair, inhibition of proliferation, and induction of apoptosis. 5-HMICA also suppresses suppressor genes involved in tumorigenesis and stimulates eumelanin synthesis for skin pigmentation.
