3,3′-Diindolylmethane is a major active metabolite of indole-3-carbinol, which is a constituent of Cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli. Indole-3-carbinol is thought to be one of the agents responsible for the cancer-protective properties of these vegetables. Researchers are interested in diindolylmethane due to potential activity against breast cancer cells. Diindolylmethane is used orally in the prevention of breast, uterine, and colorectal cancer as well as to prevent benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and treat premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
