Description

5-Methylindole-3-acetic acid (5MI3A) is a molecule that has been shown to have antiproliferative properties in bladder cancer cells. 5MI3A binds to the receptor for GABA, which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. It also inhibits the production of proinflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species in cancer cells. 5MI3A has anticancer activity in prostate cancer cells and may act by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation. Consumption of 5MI3A may reduce the risk of cancer development by preventing DNA damage from carcinogens, suppressing inflammation, and regulating cell growth through its antagonistic properties.
