Chemical Properties
Indole-3-carbinol is an off-white powder. It is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide (DMF), which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of Indole-3-carbinol in ethanol and DMF is approximately 10 mg/ml and approximately 3 mg/ml in DMSO. Indole-3-carbinol is an unstable compound that undergoes rapid oligomerization in acid pH environments, like the stomach.
Occurrence
Indole-3-carbinol is produced by members of the family Cruciferae, and particularly members of the genus Brassica (e.g., cabbage, radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and daikon).
Uses
Indole-3-carbinol has been used for encapsulation with poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), to study its in-vitro anti-cancerogenic effects on breast adenocarcinoma epithelial (MCF7), colon adenocarcinoma epithelial (Caco2), prostate carcinoma epithelial (PC3) cells. It has also been used as a cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) inducer.
Definition
ChEBI: Indole-3-carbinol is an indolyl alcohol carrying a hydroxymethyl group at position 3. It is a constituent of the cruciferous vegetables and had anticancer activity.
Preparation
Using indole, phosphorus oxychloride and N,N-dimethylformamide as raw materials, indole-3-carbaldehyde was synthesized by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction with a yield of 87.1%.
Application
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a secondary plant metabolite of 3-methylindole produced in Brassica family vegetables. It is an inhibitor of Amyloid-beta deposition and Inhibits cancinogenesis at the initiation stage. Indole-3-carbinol is used in cancer prevention, specifically for breast, cervical and colon cancers. It has also been widely used to address lupus.

General Description
Indole-3-carbinol is a novel secondary plant metabolite produced in cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, cauliflower and brussels sprouts.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Inhibits cancinogenesis at the initiation stage. Has be shown to inhibit carcinogenesis in several animal species, but it enhances tumor incidence if administered at a post-initiation stage. Found in cruciferous vegetables.
Anticancer Research
I3C is a bioactive compound majorly found in Brassica vegetables including broccoli,cauliflower, and collard greens. I3C and its derivative diindolylmethane (DIM)have been investigated for cancer prevention and treatment of breast, prostate, andovarian cancers. I3C partially modulates the tyrosine kinase/PI3K/Akt signalingpathway which leads to the prevention of lung adenocarcinoma which is induced byusing tobacco carcinogen in A/J mice. DIM transduces signaling via aryl hydrocarbon(Ah) receptor, NF-κB/Wnt/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways, cell cycle arrest,modulated cytochrome P450 enzymes, and altered angiogenetic and invasive,metastatic, and epigenetic behavior of cancer cells. Combination of DIM and I3Cinduces Nrf2-mediated phase II drug metabolizing genes (GSTm2, UGT1A1, andNQO1) and antioxidant genes (HO-1, SOD-1) (Weng et al. 2008; 2012).
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 700-06-1 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 7,0 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 700-06:
(5*7)+(4*0)+(3*0)+(2*0)+(1*6)=41
41 % 10 = 1
So 700-06-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes by green chemically prepared cobalt oxide nanoparticles
Krishnaveni,Lakshmi,Kaveri,Kadirvelu
, (2020/09/16)
A new surfactant (quercetin) assisted hydrothermal method is used for the preparation of phase pure cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles (Nps). The quercetin acted well as surfactant in producing size controlled Nps. The produced Nps were extensively characterized by various techniques to reveal its chemical composition, structure, morphology, size and thermal behavior. The main objective of the study is to employ the prepared material as heterogeneous catalyst for hydrogenation of therapeutically important aldehydes. The capability of the catalyst is appear to be good, since the yield of alcohols from structurally different aldehydes is adequate with short period of time. Also the catalyst is recyclable, stable, no need of addition of ligands for activation and environmentally benign.

An unprecedented tandem N-alkylation-ionic aza-Cope (or Claisen) rearrangement-hydrolysis reaction of readily available indolyl bromides with enamines is described. Due to the complicated nature of the two processes, an operationally simple N-alkylation and subsequent microwave-irradiated ionic aza-Cope rearrangement-hydrolysis process has been uncovered. The tandem reaction serves as a powerful approach to the preparation of synthetically and biologically important, but challenging, 2-reverse quaternary-centered prenylated indoles with high efficiency. Notably, unusual nonaromatic 3-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole architectures, instead of aromatic indoles, are produced. Furthermore, the aza-Cope rearrangement reaction proceeds highly regioselectively to give the quaternary-centered reverse prenyl functionality, which often produces a mixture of two regioisomers by reported methods. The synthetic value of the resulting nonaromatic 3-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1Hindole architectures has been demonstrated as versatile building blocks in the efficient synthesis of structurally diverse 2-reverse prenylated indoles, such as indolines, indolefused sultams and lactams, and the natural product bruceolline D.
