Abstract
Dietary compounds in cancer prevention have gained significant consideration as a viable method. Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) are heterocyclic and bioactive chemicals found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and brussels sprouts. They are synthesized after glycolysis from the glucosinolate structure. Clinical and preclinical trials have evaluated the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic, effectiveness, antioxidant, cancer-preventing (cervical dysplasia, prostate cancer, breast cancer), and anti-tumor activities of I3C and DIM involved with polyphenolic derivatives created in the digestion showing promising results. However, the exact mechanism by which they exert anti-cancer and apoptosis-inducing properties has yet to be entirely understood. Via this study, we update the existing knowledge of the state of anti-cancer investigation concerning I3C and DIM chemicals. We have also summarized; (i) the recent advancements in the use of I3C/DIM as therapeutic molecules since they represent potentially appealing anti-cancer agents, (ii) the available literature on the I3C and DIM characterization, and the challenges related to pharmacologic properties such as low solubility, and poor bioavailability, (iii) the synthesis and semi-synthetic derivatives, (iv) the mechanism of anti-tumor action in vitro/in vivo, (v) the action in cellular signaling pathways related to the regulation of apoptosis and anoikis as well as the cell cycle progression and cell proliferation such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor and PPARγ agonists; SR13668, Akt inhibitor, cyclins regulation, ER-dependent-independent pathways, and their current medical applications, to recognize research opportunities to potentially use these compounds instead chemotherapeutic synthetic drugs.

Abstract
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a major dietary component produced in Brassica vegetables from glucosinolates (GLS) upon herbivores' attack. The compound is gaining increasing interest due to its anticancer activity. However, reports about improving its level in plants or other sources are still rare. Unfortunately, I3C is unstable in acidic media and tends to polymerize rendering its extraction and detection challenging. This review presents a multifaceted overview of I3C regarding its natural occurrence, biosynthesis, isolation, and extraction procedure from dietary sources, and optimization for the best recovery yield. Further, an overview is presented on its metabolism and biotransformation inside the body to account for its health benefits and factors to ensure the best metabolic yield. Compile of the different analytical approaches for I3C analysis in dietary sources is presented for the first time, together with approaches for its detection and its metabolism in body fluids for proof of efficacy. Lastly, the chemopreventive effects of I3C and the underlying action mechanisms are summarized. Optimizing the yield and methods for the detection of I3C will assist for its incorporation as a nutraceutical or adjuvant in cancer treatment programs. Highlighting the complete biosynthetic pathway and factors involved in I3C production will aid for its future biotechnological production.

Abstract
This work presents the development of a microplate spectrophotometric method for determination of indole-3-carbinol in dietary supplements. The colorimetric procedure is based on the reaction of indole-3-carbinol with the p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMACA) reagent under acidic conditions. The absorbance of the colored product measured at 675 nm was used to determine the target analyte. To achieve optimal spectrophotometric performance, the DMACA reagent concentration, the hydrochloric acid concentration, and the reaction time were optimized. The developed technique performed well under the optimal conditions, with a linear calibration range of 30 to 300 mg L-1 and a high correlation coefficient (r2 = 0.9954). The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 7.8 mg L-1 and 26.2 mg L-1, respectively. This approach demonstrated good repeatability (intra- and inter-day precision) with a % RSD lower than 9.4%, good accuracy with acceptable relative recoveries in the range of 98 to 106%, and high sample throughput (24 detection per min). This simple, rapid, and multi-sample analysis approach for routine analysis of indole-3-carbinol has the potential to be used for the quality control of dietary supplements.

Encapsulation of indole-3-carbinol in Pickering emulsions stabilized by OSA-modified high amylose corn starch: Preparation, characterization and storage stability properties. Food Chem 2022; 386:132846. [PMID: 35381538 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.132846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The stability of hydrophobic bioactive compound indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a challenge for application. In this work, Pickering emulsions were prepared to encapsulate I3C. As the emulsifier, high amylose corn starch was pretreated by acid hydrolysis, afterwards modified by different concentrations of octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA), and their emulsions were evaluated. The XRD, SEM and FTIR results indicated the successful modification. ζ-potential, mean droplet size and emulsification index (EI) of the emulsions confirmed that modified starch with a higher degree of substitution (DS) was more effective for enhancing the storage stability. The results of encapsulation efficiency (EE) and retention degree of I3C after 14 d also proved the assumption. Moreover, the Pickering emulsions protected I3C against ultraviolet light and achieved controlled release in vitro. The food-grade Pickering emulsion loading I3C is promising to be used as a nutrient or dietary supplement for food applications.

Analysis of anticancer compound, indole-3-carbinol, in broccoli using a new ultrasound-assisted dispersive-filter extraction method based on poly(deep eutectic solvent)-graphene oxide nanocomposite. J Pharm Anal 2022; 12:301-307.

Abstract
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), an important anticancer compound found in broccoli, has attracted considerable attention. The rapid extraction and accurate analysis of I3C in the pharmaceutical industry in broccoli is challenging as I3C is unstable at low pH and high temperature. In this study, a rapid, accurate, and low-cost ultrasound-assisted dispersive-filter extraction (UADFE) technique based on poly(deep eutectic solvent)-graphene oxide (PDES-GO) adsorbent was developed for the isolation and analysis of I3C in broccoli for the first time. PDES-GO with multiple adsorption interactions and a fast mass transfer rate was synthesized to accelerate adsorption and desorption. UADFE was developed by combining dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) and filter solid-phase extraction (FSPE) to realize rapid extraction and separation. Based on the above two strategies, the proposed PDES-GO-UADFE method coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) allowed the rapid (15-16 min), accurate (84.3%-96.4%), and low-cost (adsorbent: 3.00 mg) analysis of I3C in broccoli and was superior to solid-phase extraction, DSPE, and FSPE methods. The proposed method showed remarkable linearity (r=0.9998; range: 0.0840-48.0 μg/g), low limit of quantification (0.0840 μg/g), and high precision (relative standard deviation ≤5.6%). Therefore, the PDES-GO-UADFE-HPLC method shows significant potential in the field of pharmaceutical analysis for the separation and analysis of anti-cancer compounds in complex plant samples.

Abstract
In this paper, a new ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) method using a core-shell column with a pentafluorophenyl stationary phase for separation of seven active compounds of a Silybum marianum extract was developed and validated. Silymarin, an extract of Silybum marianum, is known for its abilities to protect the liver from toxic substances, hepatitis therapy, and anti-tumour activity. Silymarin is currently being widely used in commercial preparations and herbal teas. Separation of seven compounds contained in the Silybum marianum extract (taxifolin, silychristin, silydianin, silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, isosilybin B) and other substances occurring in real samples was performed on the Kinetex 1.7μ F5 100A (150×2.1mm), 1.7μm particle size core-shell column, with a mobile phase methanol/100mM phosphate buffer pH 2.0 according to the gradient program. A mobile phase 0.35mLmin-1 flow rate and 50°C temperature was used for the separation. The detection wavelength was set at 288nm. Under optimal chromatographic conditions, good linearity with a correlation coefficient of R2 >0.999 for all compounds was achieved. The available commercial samples of herbal teas and food supplements were extracted with methanol using an ultrasonic bath. After dilution with water and centrifugation, a 2μL sample of the filtered supernatant was directly injected into the UHPLC system. The use of a pentafluorophenyl stationary phase with methanol as the organic component of the mobile phase showed new ways to effectively separate isomeric compounds in herbal extracts, which could not be done with the conventional C18 stationary phase.
