Arabidopsis Compound Description

Knapsack ID C00000125
PubChem ID 656506
Compound name 3-Indolylmethylglucosinolate (I3M)
Common Name Glucobrassicin
Formula C16H20N2O9S2
SCC Type Tryptophan derived glucosinolates; Indolylmethyl glucosinolates
SCC Function The metabolic products of glucobrassicin, indole-3-carbinol inhibit prostate cancer by both blocking initiation and suppressing prostate cancer progression in vitro and in vivo. With regards to suppressive activity, indole-3-carbinol has the ability to antagonize cell signaling pathways known to be dysregulated in prostate cancer (Watson et al. 2013).
