3,3'-diindolylmethane
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
3,3'-diindolylmethane, or DIM is a compound which is derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, found in several vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. DIM has antiandrogenic properties, which can potentially be exploited in treatments of prostate cancer and in breast cancer cells.
