Product Description:
Indole-3-carbinol(C9H9NO) is produced by the breakdown of glucosinolates, which are found in relatively high concentrations in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale and collards. Indole-3-methanol is also found in dietary supplements. Indole-3-methanol is the subject of ongoing biomedical studies on its possible anticancer, antioxidant, and antiatherosclerotic effects.
Indole-3-carbinol can convert estrogen metabolism to estrogen metabolites. Indole-3-methanol has an effect on human papillomavirus-infected cells in pediatric and adult patients.

Overview
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a lipophilic organic compound derived from cruciferous vegetables, characterized by its high thermal stability and specific crystalline structure. Manufactured via controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates, it serves as a critical precursor in pharmaceutical synthesis.
Application
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Utilized in tablet compression lines and fluid bed coaters for oncology drug formulation.
- Nutraceutical Processing: Integrated into automated encapsulation systems and powder mixing silos.
- Research Laboratories: Standard reagent for HPLC analysis columns and cell culture incubators.
Precautions
- Storage: Maintain ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C with relative humidity below 40%.
- Handling: Ensure inert atmosphere during transfer to prevent degradation under light exposure.
- Maintenance: Clean stainless steel hoppers weekly to avoid cross-contamination and residue accumulation.
