3,3'-Diindolylmethane exhibits antileukemic activity in vitro and in vivo through a Akt-dependent process.
3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM), one of the active products derived from Brassica plants, is a promising antitumor agent. The present study indicated that DIM significantly induced apoptosis in U937 human leukemia cells in dose- and time-dependent manners. These events were also noted in other huma...
