Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) molecules are present in many cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale.

It is an indole. This product can be used as a synthetic intermediate and a pharmaceutical intermediate.

Scientists have found that indole and isothiocyanate can inhibit tumor growth in animal models.

For example, in a series of big data analyses, it was found that people who often eat broccoli have a lower chance of developing prostate cancer than others

Indole-3-carbinol factory

Synthesis route:

Synthesis of indole-3-carbinol from 3-indolecarboxaldehyde.
Indole-3-carboxaldehyde is used as a raw material, and is reduced to indole-3-carboxaldehyde by different reducing agents to obtain indole-3-carboxaldehyde.

What does indole-3-carbinol do for you?

1. It protects cells from DNA damage.
2. Resist bacterial and viral infections and inflammation. Used to synthesize antiviral drugs.
3. Improve intestinal inflammation. I3C can regulate intestinal flora, significantly improve colitis symptoms, and promote intestinal barrier integrity.
4. Prevent the occurrence of colon cancer. Studies have found that I3C can normalize the proliferation of intestinal stem cells and promote their further differentiation into intestinal epithelial cells.
